I started modifying .bashrc because of the problem I'm having. I tried this,
but the problem stays and some commands are not found.

Cool, thanks for the advice. I may have misread the README and put %PATH% instead

You should also

without this, when I use 'less' with 'ls' then it causes unreadable output.

correct! thank you again.
Of course the problem still exists! (dammit jim)
