Re: rc files and TBCONFIG

Hmmm, I think there is some confusion here. It sounds like you're trying to set the TBCONFIG environment variable globally. If that's the case, then rc2 isn't the correct place. I don't believe there is such a thing as a global environment variable in Unix. What I typically do is set the variable in the /etc/profile file. This file is a system wide profile invoked as each user logs in. My guess is that that's what you're looking for.
