Re: Path problem with xterm


----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Ayers"

If you set PATH absolutely in .bash_profile, the right thing will happen. You may want to copy the initial value of PATH into another exported env var, so that you can see if there have been changes to the default path.

Hi Mike.  If I can find some time this week, I'm tempted to give this a try
but I don't quite understand how it would work.  Are you saying that an
absolute path in .bash_profile will somehow override the other paths?  Or
that it will somehow prevent the various other scripts from adding their own
entries?  Or will I still have to track down all those other files and edit
them anyway?

John
