When you start an X terminal, it doesn't start as a login session unless you are executing it as such. If it doesn't start as a login session, .bash_profile doesn't get executed. So you either need to check your X terminal man page for how to start it as a login session, or you need to move your path setting from .bash_profile to .bashrc and make sure you're executing .bashrc from .bash_profile, because .bashrc is only executing for *non*-login sessions. Also try reading the section "INVOCATION" near the beginning of the bash manpages, which will explain most of this. -- ....................paul Programming without a hex editor is like watchmaking without a hammer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
