Modify .profile file
Hi there, I am really new to unix (about 3 days using it). In my assignment spec i have been told to modify my .profile file and create an environmental file.

Until now all tasks have been file manipulation, etc learn how to use chmod or grep etc.

I literally can't find this .profile file, I have found one in /etc/profile however my spec says I should have a personal one that is different to that one.

Help would be much appreciated.

Paul
