In bash (and in sh too), you set an environmental vairable like this: export PRINTER="Deskjet" This is short for PRINTER="Deskjet" export PRINTER See "man bash" for details: "The supplied names are marked for automatic export to the environment of subsequently executed commands." - and so on. > Contents of ~/.bashrc are as follows: > /**************************************************** > > [olivares@quadcore /usr/home/olivares]$ cat .bashrc > # User specific environment and startup programs > setxkbmap -option compose:ralt & > setenv PRINTER Deskjet & I don't think you need to send any of them into background (&), as they should be processed "right away". For example, your ~/.bashrc could look like this: setxkbmap -option compose:ralt export PRINTER="Deskjet" Keep in mind that in _this_ case, $PRINTER is set for _your_ account only (which should be fine on a single- user system). However, if you set it up in /etc/csh.cshrc for system- wide use, user shells like bash should incorporate the setting. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
