my .profile looks like this...
#!/usr/bash
PATH=$PATH:/additionalpath/;export PATH
ENVAR=VALUE;export ENVAR
the output of env at the prompt confirms the new path is set, but ENVAR does
not appear to be set!
Generally, existing environment variables are updated, new environment
variables are not added though. Any ideas?
