Hiya mark...

 ml> BM> It was do to the 'sudo' before the ./sbbsecho from the testing I did.

 ml> yes but why? why did "sudo" do that?? that's the part to be learned
 ml> and understood ;)

As I understand it... sudo allows anyone to become a superuser and being I
was running under 'pi', it would not allow the variable to be set properly.
Being /etc/profile already has it set for all users... that was creating an
issue.  That's the way I see it... could be wrong... yes?? no???
