--------------8F461DE3D0C1143403A32272 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Can anyone tell me where to look for the file that contains all the directories that are in PATH. Whenever I make changes to the PATH variable, the changes are not saved. I've tried to make changes via Emacs to various .profile files, but none of the files I've looked at don't contain the same PATH variables as when you type the command env in a xterm window. I assume that when I do locate the file, I'll have to make changes for every user on the system.
