I am using bash as my shell. I have a file ~/.bashrc with command in there and I get: =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D bash: setenv: command not found =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D 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 & *****************************************************/ Thanks for the suggestion & hope to get it working :) Regards, Antonio
