Use echo $SHELL to find out. .profile is for sh or bash. My .login has no path statement in it. I use csh (or tcsh) and the path statement is in .cshrc or .tcshrc. 2) After editing the path in, say, .cshrc, type source .cshrc to get the file reread so you don't have to log in again to find out if it worked. 3) Use echo $PATH to see your path statement.
