modifying sys.path on win98...?

[chajadan]

I'm trying to update the sys.path for python on win98...

I altered the registry, under local machine, seemingly correct. But
when I access the sys.path to check it, my alterations don't show,
even after rebooting.

I can use sys.path.append, but the change only lasts until I close
python. Then it reverts back to its original state.

How do I make the alteration 'permanent' ?
