Re: [LUG] Environmental variable?

["aaron Moore" <aaronmoore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks very much for detaile reply, but am still a little unsure what to do.
I have found env.ksh in /opt/OpenCASCADE5.2/ros/env.ksh but what should I do with it?
You are going to have to spell it out for me if you have the time.
Thanks
Aaron
