<h3>Setting up Environment Variables</h3>

If this is an upgrade then it is likely that all the environment variables have been setup and you can skip this section.
<p>
You can set up various environment variables to make running any of the Robelle products easier.
The four variables that we recommend setting for Qedit are: 
SHLIB_PATH, ROBELLE, PATH and MANPATH.

<ul>
<li>The ROBELLE variable tells the Robelle products where it's
supporting files are located.
<li>The PATH variable, when set, allows the user to run Qedit by just
typing "qedit" instead of the fully qualified program name.
<li>The MANPATH variable, when set, allows users to access the
manpage (Help page) for Qedit.
</ul>
<p>


<h4>ROBELLE, PATH and MANPATH</h4>
<p>
The easiest way to add variables accessible to all users is to set the variables in the
global exec file for the shell you use.
<p>
For the Bourne, Korn and Posix Shells we recommend the following additions to 
the /etc/profile file.
<pre>
export ROBELLE=/opt/robelle
export PATH=$PATH:$ROBELLE/bin
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$ROBELLE/man
</pre>
<p>
For the C Shell we recommend that you add the following commands after any
existing PATH or MANPATH statements in the /etc/csh.login file:
<pre>
setenv ROBELLE /opt/robelle
set path=($path $ROBELLE/bin)
setenv MANPATH "$MANPATH":$ROBELLE/man
</pre>
<p>


<h4>Configuring different Shells</h4>
<p>
When you log on to HP-UX, a program is run called the shell. The shell program
interprets commands, executes them, and controls command execution. Making configuration
changes requires that you know which shell you are using and 
what files are automatically executed.

<h4>Bourne, Korn and Posix Shells</h4>
<p>
The Bourne, Korn and Posix shells execute the file /etc/profile when you log on to 
HP-UX. They then look for a file in your home directory called .profile. If it exists, it is
executed. If you use SAM to add new users, the file /etc/d.profile is automatically
copied to the home group of the new user. If you want to make global changes to the commands
that are executed at login in time you typically have to make the changes to the /etc/profile
file, and check that the /etc/d.profile (the file that becomes the users .profile file), does
not counteract any of the changes that you have made to the global file, such as Path, Manpath
or Robelle. You also have may have to warn existing Bourne and Korn
shell users to change their .profile file in their home directories.

<h4>C Shell</h4>

The C shell executes the file /etc/csh.login when you log on to HP-UX. It then looks
for the file .login in your home directory. If it exists, it is executed. Next, the 
C shell executes the file .cshrc in your home directory (also executed any time you 
invoke a new copy of /bin/csh). If you use SAM to add new users, the files /etc/d.login 
and /etc/d.cshrc are automatically copied to the home group of the new users.

You may need to make changes to /etc/d.login and
/etc/d.schrc, so that new users do not override your changes. You may also have to warn
existing C shell users to change their .login and .cshrc files in their home directories.
