how to set up linux environment variables?

Hi
I'm using Linux, in the directory /root/my
there is a.out. but when I try to run it , the
shell indicate "bash:a.out: command not found"
but I AM working in this directory. if I use
"./a.out" , it works perfectly.

can any body tell me how to do a permanent set up so that
I can use a.out instead of ./a.out?

thank you
