For bash, try looking in: ~/.profile (user-specific) or /etc/profile (global) For csh there is ~/.cshrc, ~/.login, /etc/csh.cshrc, /etc/csh.login .login is only executed when you log in (ie supply username/password); .cshrc is also executed when you open an xterm. That's my understanding anyway. I don't know about other shells. Cheers, - Dave http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/
