Thanks, Jesse. I was wondering if creating a bash_profile file would work or not, then realized it mattered not since I didn't know what to put in it, anyway. Now I do. :-D
I already modified /etc/profile, but it only seems to work for root and not the user account. <sigh> Apparently I have a lot of basic sysadmin stuff to catch up on. Thanks for your help.

You have a number of options here: 1. Create a ~/.bash_profile file. Here is mine to use as an example: # .bash_profile # Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi # User specific environment and startup programs PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/java/j2re1.4.1_02/bin:/usr/local/Acrobat5/bin export PATH unset USERNAME 2. You should be able to export environment variables in the ~/.bashrc file. 3. For global configuration edit the /etc/profile file.
