Oh!
I have followed (just about) most of this. I know nothing
about Netscape and less than that about Java. But I do remember
something about changing my .bash_profile or .bashrc (or my
.profile or .cshrc way back when...)
Did you tell it to re-read that file? :)
source .bash_profile (or whichever file it's in)
Pardon me if this was something obvious and you did it. But I
forget that often enough...
Given the Netscape mention, it's a safe bet you're running X :) So
one other weird half-remembered thing:
I also recall I had some trouble with my .bash_profile once when
restarting X which was something to do with X kindly remembering
my old .bash_profile when I restarted X (grr!) after I had edited
the file from within X. I'm not sure this makes too much sense: it
certainly doesn't make sense on re-reading it. But if that rings
a bell to anyone, perhaps they can explain what might have been
going on there. (I was trying to correct an incorrect PGP_PATH;
it still looked in the old place after I restarted X. Something
like that. It was odd.)

When in doubt, read the documentation :) Good luck!
