Fw: Fw: Please Help

I set the PATH to usr/local/pgsql/bin that seems to be where all the files I
want to execute are in. But still nothing.. Am I doing something really
stupid here liking missing a command? All I am typing in is initdb and
pressing enter. Am I missing a step in the installation??? And hey thanks
for the help....
