To run a script in the current shell so it can change your environment, call it as `. yourscript` instead of just `yourscript`. AFAIK there's nothing that you can put in the script to make it do this all the time. -- Sam Hanes elemecca AT gmail DOT com Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward towards the light; but the laden traveler may never reach the end of it. - Ursula K.
