it all depends on the implementation of tex you have = installed.  most
modern ones for un*x or windoze systems maintain a = file name database,
but there are commercial and shareware versions whose = details i don't
know.

the basic idea is you put the file somewhere that = `obviously' matches
similar files already on the systme.

un*x tex systems typically have a command texhash (or = mktexlsr), and
aiui windoze systems have some menu entry, that = updates the filename
database, and the new stuff thereby gets = found.

for further details consult the usenet group = comp.text.tex
