Well, if not, I'm putting it there! :-) I got this response on irc to a suggestion of "man bash". (2006-08-18 15:19:01) Vornicus: meh. I give up. This was after noting that there was no .bashrc in ~ or / and finding that there was no notion of setting PATH in the bash man page. The time between my mentioning "man bash" and further questions about PATH was approximately 30 seconds. *chug*? cgf
