In order to "see" the variable setting you'll need either to re-log in as that user, or use ". ~/.bash_profile" rather than just "~/.bash_profile". Simply executing the profile will not set the variable in your current shell, you need to "source" it instead using ".". Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
