I came across some difficulty with /etc/profile and $HOME/.profile. As near as I can tell, the .profile is not being read or is not being processed. I am using MINIX ST -- has anyone else found problems in this area? If necessary, I can rerun my tests and provide results to look for. -- Gerry Wheeler Phone: (519)884-2251 Mortice Kern Systems Inc.
