If that's really the exact output you get, the answer is obvious; you don't have ``/home/carlf/bin'' on your PATH. You do, however, have ``/home/carlf/bin)'' on your path, a directory which, I assume, doesn't exist. Hint: this is Bourne shell, not C shell; you never put parentheses around variable values. :) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
