Jacob,
The .profile is, I think, for the Bourne shell. If you use bash, I think
that it's something like, '.bash-profile' or something like that. If you
use cshell, there is another filename.
I was just reading about this last week, and would be more specific, but
the book was due at the library. Check the manpage for your shell, or
check a good Unix book for the exact filename for your particular choice
of shell (bash is, AFAIK, the default shell for linux).
HTH,
