[QUOTE="Shambhavi, post: 201418"] echo $SHELL did give me /bin/bash while cat .profile gave cat: .profile: No such file or directory. While I can see the file being present (I have my show all files option of the Finder property turned ON) The way i created my .profile was went to TextEdit pasted the content that goes into it. Saved it as .profle (the format was RTF the default) in my Users/<myUserName> folder. i.e in my $HOME folder. [/QUOTE]
