Here you are assigning a value to the variable "mypath". You can surround "/home/user1/Tools" with quotes if you like, but it is not strictly necessary. > > and $mypath Here you are actually *using* the variable "mypath". Here is another example: NAME="paulf" echo "My name is $NAME." which will yield: My name is paulf. -- Paul M.
