a) after PWD a closing ` is missed
b) i suppose $PWD is nothing else as 'pwd' so why no use 'pwd' ? note PWD is NOT a standard variable and could NOT run on other sys or using other shells c) the way you are doing it is useless, .profile is consulted ONCE on login, your PWD var will never be updated. d) what shell are you using ? reply (private) if interested, i have a working version.
