setenv and export

[Aquil H. Abdullah]

You can add the export command to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile file.

Open your .bashrc file
add the line:
export CLASSPATH=[path you want to add]

after that you can type:

source ~/.bashrc

and you should be all set.  The next you login or start your system you
should be. fine.
