I use the cli mostly. My scripts are all in a directory named, scripts. It would be less trouble if I did not have to type scripts in my commands. I have tried including /root/scripts in the path sentence of /etc/profile, but it did not seem to make any difference. How can I change puppy to allow this? Thanks for any help.

I don't use the CLI much, so this is probably a dumb question. Just to get the discussion going, can't you cd to /scripts so that all the commands refer to the /scripts directory?

In case I am understanding the question.

Quote:
Shell and Search
ROX-Filer provides a pretty handy Shell function. To access a command prompt just press Shift+1.
Here you can type in any command, btw the command will always be executed in the directory you've opened right now!
Next is the search function.
To get to the Search function, open the Filer, right click-> Next Click-> Find.
The search option is pretty advanced, you can search and filter Files and Directories after lots of criterias, consult the Documentation for more infos on that topic

Code:
PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R7/bin:/root/my-applications/bin:/root/scripts"

I have added /root/scripts to /etc/profile as shown above, restarted Puppy and now scripts from /root/scripts are accessible without specifying the full path.
(That's what you'd like to achieve, am I right?)
No idea why it doesn't work in your case... Confused
I'm using Lucid Puppy, by the way.

Greetings!
