Thanks, I didn't think of this. I just forgot to mention it, but I also
tried adding
 'export PATH=/home/manon/scripts:$PATH' to the end of /etc/profile, but
that didn't work either. But for now, the problem is solved by adding it to
~/.bashrc.

Well, at the moment, I don't quite understand this, but I think I first have
to
work my way to 'man bash'. Anyway, thanks for your reply.

Greetings, Manon.
