thanks for all the help and the several ways of getting back my german

are a few questions left for whom I need an answer in order to get this

Yes I know but what is my home directory and how do I find this
.xinitrc and the other .files? If I would know this then I could edit
.xinitrc as well as .tcshrc in order to set the path to /usr/local/bin.
When I use find it doesn't show me these files so how do I make them
visible?
Sorry for these "stupid" questions but I'm a Newbie to command line
operationg systems and all the pages in the net I found speak of
editing .files and Home Directorys but they all seem to forget that
there are newbies out there and not only gurus. O.K. Since I work in
the german OpenOffice.org Team I know by myself how difficult it is to
stick to an easy level and be newbie friendly but from time to time it
helps. For me a simple link to a website which answers this questions
would help.

Can I build one by myself? And if so how?
