adding to $PATH

how do i perminintly add to my bash $PATH? it does not have /usr/sbin so it is a bit of a pain every time i want to run something from there.

thanks

export PATH=$PATH;/usr/sbin should do it

actually....i'm having a brain fart and can't remember whether the directories in path are delimited with a ; or a : run 'set' in console and see what are in between the directories in the PATH variable.. i'd take a quick look right now, but i'm not at my computer.
