New to wine question concerning Path Variable

[Scott Unruh]

Well, that's what I thought.  I was getting this info from the section
"Setting Windows/DOS environment variables" of the Wine User Guide. It
talked about export MYVARIABLE=myvariable or editing the /etc/profile. I see
what you are saying. I think I went down the wrong path too early.  

Thanks,
Scott
