Thanks Laurenz for the prompt reply,

csh shell ?... I use it under KDE in the "Shell" windows as SU

I'm guessing "export PATH" displays the current value of the PATH
environment variable however when I issue this command nothing is
displayed, I would have expected some std values to be set for PATH or is
the default PATH value blank under Slackware/Linux ?
