What should the permissions be on the .MacOSX folder and the
environment.plist file?
Please send me an example of you file as well.
On a related note, I am new to the list here. As a matter of
convention is it appropriate to reply to the list, individuals, or
both? I notice that by default, there is no "reply-to" in the
headers like some other lists I am on (that by default hitting
"reply" replies to the list)
Thanks!

I also found in an old FAQ that mentions something about a plist
needing to be set up in ~/.MacOSX, except that directory does not
exist in my home dir. I am running 10.4.8 on a MacBook Pro.
The file is environment.plist
You will need to create $HOME/.MacOSX if it's not there.
Apple has an app note with a sample plist file. Ask if you'd like a
copy of mine which does not set up X11.
The file is little more than an XML version of a name : value
dictionary. It's not like an rc file though and things like $HOME
will not get evaluated as it is read. You can't add a directory to
the default $PATH.
The file is read at login to aqua time. It won't do any good to
modify it after a login and expect it to apply to a newly launched
application.
