[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1612170, member: 56379"] Thanks Charlie.:) That is what I thought...and what some of the webpages I was reading seemed to allude to. But none of them actually came out & said a fresh reinstall of the OS would wipe out all Terminal changes. I purchased a used Mac recently...and the previous owner was telling me all sorts of things they were trying to do, or did, or were thinking of doing to the computer. So I just wanted to make sure all "previous owner" Terminal modifications were eliminated. I always do an HD erase & reformat...and then a fresh OS install on any used computer I purchase. Don't need any previous owner "baggage" or problems!:) Thanks again, - Nick [/QUOTE]
