echo $PATH To add to the PATH for the current session: export PATH="/additional/path:$PATH" (I think; make sure that's right-- ok, it is right, but maybe without the quotes according to man export). What I usually do (because I often can't quite remember the correct syntax of an "append to export" comand) is: echo $PATH or export (without parameters), then copy the current PATH to a text file, so if I mess it up I can export PATH="(the original PATH)". Of course I could just read man export like a reasonable person, but who has time for that ;-) ? Hope this helps, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
