.bash_profile

[Simon Forster]

Just out of curiosity, what sort of changes are people making to their 
shell environment by changing .bash_profile? Really I'm just after 
hints and tips which could make my command line experience easier.

And on this subject, as of Panther, man pages are not scrollable in the 
terminal. Rather, I have to use the control y and v options to move up 
and down pages. This has got me thinking on my use of man (a bad thing 
;-). Can I change my environment so that an appropriate man page is 
opened in a new terminal window with the entire text already loaded. 
This means that I can use terminal's scroll bars to navigate through 
the text. Of course we'll need to start at the top of the man page's 
text.

Actually, BBEdit would make a good pager for me - except that it 
doesn't interpret the control characters used in the man pages.

Hmm.
