WE HAVE LIFTOFF !!!

That did it. I'm really surprised because I was using EditPad lite to make the scripts. I got this a while ago because Notepad does not handle linefeeds and carriage returns properly.

(It also took a while to find the pipe character since I was typing on the screen kbd!)

Anyway it looks like I am in business and you can now get on with your life instead of tutoring me

I really do appreciate you working with me, I have learned a lot (and remembered some from years ago).

Do you use EditPad lite? Is there a setting to overcome this problem? I was hoping to explore more scripting (using my PC) in the future but this is a pain to 'fix' every time on the tablet.

Cheers!

EDIT: I think I have broken something. Attempting to add the Scripts folder to the path I typed:

type 'PATH...' > .profile

Of course, if .profile already existed, I have overwritten the whole file with my single PATH statement. I should have used the append >>. Rats!

The reason I am concerned is because when I open xTerm, I get the message:
-sh: not: not found

Have I overwritten .profile?
Can I recover it?
How do I display the contents of a file in xTerm? (the equivalent of 'type filename' in DOS)

Thanks.
