You're setting the shell variables incorrectly. PDB="~/.kde/share/apps/kpilot/DBBackup/Cool Joe/AddressDB.pdb" export PDB or export PDB="~/.kde/share/apps/kpilot/DBBackup/Cool Joe/AddressDB.pdb" Should both work fine. You should use quotes when dealing with filenames with spaces in them. -- Nathan Poznick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "The ONLY good cat is a stir fried cat" -Alf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
