Yup!  I assume LISTFILE /etc/,6 shows no match...  Sounds like a posix
install problem....? You can create /etc by:
   :newdir /etc       or from the shell:
   $mkdir /etc

Make sure you have the correct permissions on /etc.  From the CI:
   :listfile /etc,-2                                 From the shell:
   $ls -ld /etc

Alter the /etc directory if needed.   From the CI:
   :altsec /etc;repacd=(...)          From the shell:
   $chmod ... /etc

The easiest (for me :) way to create the profile file is to copy someone elses
profile and then change yours as you need to, or use vi.
   $vi /etc/profile

Copy someones /etc/profile.  Jeff Kell's is probably better than the one on
my timeshare system but I will email you mine privately (not to waste
bandwidth).
