Hi Rick and Brett and others on the list.  Thanks for your assistance.  I 
tried some of your examples here and while it works I can't quite get my head 
around how I would find the following link.

Here is what is happening. I installed an application that looks for it config 
files in /etc/ax25 directory.  However when I run the application after its 
installed - it is looking for these application in /usr/local/etc/ax25.

Somehow, I believe I set up a symlink a long time ago and now I would like to 
find out where in hell it is.  I know my compilation of the application(s) 
is/are not wrong as the installation of the sample files all went to  the 
/etc/ax25 directory. But when I run the application it again says - NOPE, 
can't find those config files in /usr/local/etc/ax25???

So - is there a way to find out where I have that link set?  What would be the 
strategic commands and switches to locate this rascal..

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me on this..
