A good introduction to the command line and how to set PATH etc. is at 
http://www.osxfaq.com/Tutorials/LearningCenter/

You will need to set the path in a file called .login in your home 
directory. You can create this in any text editor (e.g. EMacs.) 
Incidentally, I use EMacs to edit my Lilypond files precisely for that 
reason - that it gives you cursor position information (as well as 
being generally a nicer environment to work in.)

Hope this helps,
Vivian.
