To the group: I may get the hang of this com-poo-ter yet :(
I managed to send the appropriate 'mea culpa' to Chris, but not to the group. Now I have egg on my face--twice.[you can find me on the breakfast menu: two eggs on ham <bg>] Here is the missing beginning of the above reply: Chris, Mybad! You get the props for all the effort...I get all the ghost-cheers for failing to give you sufficient information! Additional information that I needed to supply was that the new entries to your /etc/profile file needed to be made 'inside' the file (before the 'unset i' ... and inside the same 'if-fi' set as the other PATH definitions. To make sure that I have not mucked up this explanation, I've attached a corrected file. I've used your file and have done two cut-n-paste changes. Try this again, with the new file (if you actually use my file version, don't forget to rename it 'profile'--without the quotes). In addition, as pointed out by Stormjumper, you apparently don't need to reboot--just log out of your user account and log back in. (Maybe I spent too many years adminning an RH Linux ISP Internet server system from a Winblows desktop?) As always, if I've made a goof, I'm sure one of our listmates will kindly supply a correction.
