That was the problem. Thanks for your patience.
So now I have two questions:
1 - Is there a good tutorial or reference where I should have looked for this?
I spent alot of time looking before I posted the question, but didn't find the
answer. In the **good old days** of DOS I would have found the solution with
very little effort. :-)
2 - Can you see any reason to put a PATH command in /root/.bashrc where it
overwrites the default in etc/profile? I suppose I could have added the
directory I wanted there, but instead I deleted the PATH command so the default
path from /etc/profile would take effect. It seems to me that the whole point
of having config files in /etc is to keep them all in one convenient location.
Only special changes should be done elsewhere.
