Re: Changing an existing PATH as seen in QSHELL

When I run 'echo $PATH' from within QSHELL, where is it getting the path

When you start QSH, the system automatically runs the shell script '.profile' in your home directory.

If this script has a statement like: export PATH=$PATH:~/bin, that will modify the path.

I _think_ the default path is set in a script created in the /etc directory, but I can't find it
