My guess is that you had defined this in the preferences at some point
- that's the only method I'm aware of for setting this path, and it's
the only way to override whatever PHENIX finds by default.  Open
Preferences in the main GUI, click on "Graphics", and look for "Full
path to Coot".  If phenix.find_coot_command is locating the correct
binary, you can leave that field blank.
