Dear Larry:
Thanks for your help.
I followed the advice which you outlined in your email and it worked
beautifully. But I'm a little unclear about what I need to do next:
1. When it says in the online tutorial at
http://users.erols.com/ewinkler/installguide/installguide.html to "uncomment
the export PATH line".
2. Save the file and exit. (To save the file, how do I do this in NetBSD? Do
I type the word save?)
Look forward to hearing from you.
Roland :)
