  Hmmm... I've never run it without a mouse being "active."
I'll try to remember to give it a go tomorrow to see how it 
works.

  You should have a default path set to at least /usr/bin,
/usr/local/bin and /bin.  Check with the 'env' command.

  The "." preceding a file makes it a "hidden" file.
Most .*rc, *.ini, *.conf and *.config files that reside in 
user space are hidden.
  RH has a .bashrc and .bash_profile in each user's home
directory, .bash_profile being the one where any necessary
additions to the path are made.

  Root often has a longer path set than ordinary users do.
