Consult your shell documentation (or ask another user who knows) to find out which.
You will need to add a line which typically reads something like export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/directory/containing/python making the obvious substitution of the correct path. Interestingly I couldn't quickly formulate a Google search specifically containing Python, but a search for unix add to path gives the quite helpful http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/unix8.html as its first result. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
