Then I paste them : into the line below, counting and distinguishing between colons and : semicolons carefully. I think it's really silly that these are not : included in the path already, but someone clever must have had a reason : for it. The simple reason appears to be that the X Windowing system and the games are not installed by default in the base system. Sometimes users install a minimal set of utilities onto a small system just to run some basic utilities. Last thing they need is a pre-configured path pointing to directories that aren't on the system. K.S.
