use $script:MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path, see source path of an executing script. You get into problems with nested callers, even with the profile script, for example I have a helper function to reload your profile (after function/variable edits) but skip all one-time init (like loading .NET assemblies).

Is this script idempotent? Or would you potentially be re-appending the same directory over and over each time you ran it?

@RossBrasseaux There is no checking if PATH already includes the $ProfileRoot inside before appending, so no, it's not idempotent in the current state.
