Hi,
	I'm not sure about searchpath, but what you could try is aliasing
those commands to the ones in your directory.  For example,

	alias command '$HOME/bin/command'

Alias commands of this sort can be put in your .login file or .cshrc
( or .profile if you like Bourne ).  They will be evaluated and put in
the environment each time you logon.

OR....

You could edit your .login or .cshrc file ( which ever contains

	"set PATH= blah blah blah" )

and put "~/bin" first.
