Find our where bash is (probably in /usr/local/bin/bash) and use chsh to change your shell. Use a .bash_profile and .bashrc in your home directory to set aliases and customize your prompt. I find it hand to have the last bit of the directory name in the prompt line. Holler if you need a screed for these. -- Richard Martin dmartin@origen.com OriGen Biomedical Tel: +1 512 474 7278 2525 Hartford Rd.
