[SunHELP] path

[Super-User]

hi,
  thanks for the help but unlike other users which have .profile in their home
directory, i did not find .profile in root directory which is home dir. of root
users. I can add a directory to PATH variable for a session but i wan't to
include it in path permanently.
                thanks.
                               gurinder
