Hi Bob,

re:

Excellent!

Everything after the '=' (equal sign) should be surrounded by shifted
quites:

export MCTABLE_READ="$MCDATA/MCTABLE.TXT;$MCHOME/data/ADDESITE.TXT"

If it is not, then the shell (BASH in your case) is running/trying
to run:

MCTABLE_READ=$MCDATA/MCTABLE.TXT
$MCHOME/data/ADDESITE.TXT

Surround the object of the '=' with shifted quotes and all should
be well.

re:
> Thanks again! -Bob

No worries.  Let me know if you run into anything else!

Cheers,

Tom
