Still not able to do this. My /home/henri/.profile have this: ------------------------------------------------------------ export ENV="$HOME/.kshrc" export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" export GOPATH=$HOME/go PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Scripts My .kshrc --------- export PS1='$PWD $ ' alias quit=exit alias clr=clear alias logout=exit alias bye=exit alias j=jobs BUT printenv says: ------------------ /home/henri $ printenv _=/usr/bin/printenv XAUTHORITY=/home/henri/.Xauthority LOGNAME=henri WINDOWPATH=5 WINDOWID=6291457 HOME=/home/henri LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 DISPLAY=:0 GOPATH=/home/henri/go MAIL=/var/mail/henri PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/home/henri/Scripts SHELL=/bin/ksh PS1=$PWD $ TERM=st-256color USER=henri Looks like it reads the PS1 env but not the rest, or they don't work. Also I don't intend to use only xterm, but others term. emulators. -- Regards Henrique Lengler
