Do you know telepathy ? :-)

By the way, I was trying multiple things, and it striked me that, if I used SecureFX to overwrite the existing .profile file, it would help me fix this situation.

Thanks guys, for all the quick and effective replies.

I am starting to love this forum.

Will keep coming back !!!
