[Sunhelp] Neophyte Question - PATH variable on CDE

[mike mangino]

It depends on your shell. I use ksh, so I make changes in .profile. My .profile looks like

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin:/opt/local/bin

if you use csh or tcsh, you edit your .cshrc file.

sh is like ksh, except you must export on a seperate line.

PATH=${PATH}:/opt/bin:/opt/local/bin
export PATH



I've heard UNIX in a nutshell be O'Reilly is a good reference.
