And when the shell ends, you are back where you started. I'd be tempted to add; export PATH=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_10/jre/bin:$PATH:/home/peter/jmri/1.7.5/JMRI (all one line) to the ".bashrc" file in Peters home directory (~/.bashrc). Then he should be able to run utilities in that directory just by typing their name; $ PanelPro Assuming the utilities have been written such that it doesn't matter what directory you start them from. It is fairly easy to write scripts that way, or wrap existing scripts. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
