[racket] running racket from the command line

Thanks very much. Working well now.

For those that find this, a trap for young players is that you must
quote paths with spaces in them, else you will lose everything you
depend upon (even the command 'ls').

So it is

Export PATH="/Applications/Racket v5.3.6/bin":$PATH

On OS X for example, the relevant bin/ directory is located in the same directory as DrRacket.app, and so that's the directory (.../Racket\ v5.3.6/bin) that has to be (explicitly) added to your path.  I don't know the layout of the various Linux distributions, but I imagine there's a broadly similar layout there.
