.bash_profile = should be saved as a text file at the top level of your user account. = That is, it should go right alongside the directories that are = standardly installed, like Documents, Library, Movies, Music, Pictures, = Public, and Sites.

Note 1: the dot in front means it won't be = visible in the Finder, absent further fiddling and = trickery.

Note 2: if you're = using TeXShop, I think that these sorts of instructions go in "engine" = files.

This may be an easier route to trying this = sort of thing out than using .bash_profile. It may be *much* easier if = you're supporting other people. Again, I don't = know.

By the way, Oliver = B's problem appears to be resolved. Changes in the personal texmf tree = are picked up now, without further intervention by the = user.

Good = luck!

Michael
