The systems can be named A and B. Both have xdm and LXDE. I am working in LXTerminal on A and telneting to B through an OpenVPN tunnel. EDITOR is not set on A but is vi on B. > If this were in your ~/.bash_profile then the newer form is definitely safe > ... These systems have .bashrc and .profile. Neither has .bash_profile and I don't recall deleting it. > It is a long story ... I have to be skeptical about the necessity or benefit of this complexity. OK; rather than spend more time on it, I'll tolerate nano for the incrontab editor. Thanks, ... Peter E. >-- Telephone 1 360 639 0202.
