oops! my previous post was 1/2 deleted because i used periods as line seperators in a perl/www based emailer - sorry. \ anyway ... /etc/profile -> any ordinary variables used remain in a users environment and must be explicitly "unset" in /etc/profile to avoid this. i don't think this should be! (2.1.5) \ ~/.profile -> the first alias (only verified as first non-comment line) will never work, resulting in a "alias: not found" error. although it will show if the "alias" command is issued. even if you try to re-alias that 1st alias in ~/.profile, nothing changes, and the alias still does not work. \ has this been fixed? or am i being stupid here? \ thanks. --------------------------------------------------------- Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------
