Running Node (or any unix cmd line program) from Shell from a LC Stack

[Mike Bonner]

Ah, I see. And thank you!  I now have a plugin that does a shell (source
blah blah echo $PATH) so that I always have my full terminal path available
to lc shell.  No extra/custom paths added yet, but it'll be nice to always
have the full path so I don't have to mess with absolute pathing (or
building the path in the shell every time)

Thanks for sharing!
