Editing your .bashrc file

• Go to your home space 'root directory' (type cd)
• Use your favorite text editor (e.g. type xemacs .bashrc)
• There should be a line looking like: PATH=$PATH:blabla:.
  If there is not, just add one.
• In the case of staroffice, the executable is in ~/office52/ where ~ means your home space. Therefore you want to add this to your PATH so that the shell knows where to look for when you type 'soffice'.
• Your PATH line should like:
  export PATH=$PATH:thatwastherebefore:$HOME/office52/:.
  The . at the end is there so that when you type a command, the shell looks in the current directory and you don't have to type './command'
