So do I need to create a file in my user directory called .profile or profile to put the configurations I want into? There is still a lot I don't understand about this stuff yet.

Better., I think, is to put those commands you want executed at login by the user in question directly into her/his ".profile". A user's ".bashrc" is for shells launched after login, e. g. by "screen". -Dave _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
