David

   I did just as you suggested and it did not work on this machine. Rest
assured any words of wisdom from you are taken very seriously and 99.9%
of the time I implemient them, the other .01% is non-existant. I have
actually put the suggested changes in /etc/profile. Now if that is
wrong, I will stand corrected, I did try it in the terminal window
also. At that time I would do anything to get it working.

cheers
