Hi all and Ray

HELP please
I have about 8 books with some info in it, none complete, and a few web sites 
but I am still not getting it.

THis is wxactly what I did.
Opened KDE Konsole in home directory

Typed @ > echo $PATH 
Got -> /usr//bin:/bin:/usr/bin::/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:
     /usr/games:/usr/lib/jdk-1.4.1_01/bin

Copied /usr//bin:/bin:/usr/bin::/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:
     /usr/games:/usr/lib/jdk-1.4.1_01/bin

Typed @ > PATH= {Copied PATH}

Edited {Copied Path} to be
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:
     /usr/games:/usr/lib/jdk-1.4.1_01/bin
     {Setting // to be / & :: to be : }

Typed @ > echo $PATH 
Got -> /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:
     /usr/games:/usr/lib/jdk-1.4.1_01/bin

Ok so far I think.

Next
Typed @ > EXPORT PATH
Got -> bash: EXPORT: command not found

Closed out of termal; reopened terminal
Did echo $PATH
Got Original PATH 

Is this procedure incorrect or what?
Can I not set the PATH by this procedure?

Thanks
Frank
