        e.g. export CLASSPATH=/home/username

        If I close the terminal window and
        open a new one the command
        echo $CLASSPATH results in no CLASSPATH(!)
        
        The command env shows that there is no CLASSPATH env variable. I
        guess I need to *add*
        the env variable CLASSPATH for e.g. the username.
        How do I do that?

Add the command to ~/.bash_profile

You will need to log out and back in again for this to take effect.

Paul,
>Add the command to ~/.bash_profile
I'm a newbie so I don't know how to that! My bash_profile
looks like this:
# Startup file for bash login shells.
#
default_dir=/usr/local/lib/

if [ -n "$PS1" ]; then
	PS1='\u@\h(\#)\$ '
	IGNOREEOF=3
fi

LOGIN_SHELL=true

# If the user has her own init file, then use that one, else use the
# canonical one.
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
	. ~/.bashrc
elif [ -f ${default_dir}Bashrc ]; then
	. ${default_dir}Bashrc;
fi
