Type the characters _following_ that): $ echo $PATH This can be set either temporarily for the current session by using a "setenv" command, or you can edit a file that is read by the shell each time it starts. You can find some more details here (your question is discussed in the section "General Unix, Shells": http://opendarwin.org/faq.shtml You can get a lot of help on Darwin specific mailing lists ( I don't use OS X nor do a lot of other people here, this list is only for XFree86 specific issues, not introductions to specific operating systems and so you are less likely to get help here). Given that OS X is a proprietary non-Free wrapper over the Free operating system FreeBSD you may find a lot of useful information about basic *NIX stuff here: http://www.freebsd.org/ Good luck, Oisin Feeley _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
