If you're not sure about the RAYPATH variabel just copy-and-paste the
line in an email so that we can look at it.

Basically you just list each directory separated by a ":" (not ";" as
in my example above!).

If you have spaces in a path you have to enclose the whole thing in
quotes (RAYPATH="...") otherwise it's not essential but good style.

Depending on where you define it you can add the contents of a
previously set RAYPATH by exanding the variable in the list:

RAYPATH=".:/home/andrew/ray:${RAYPATH}"

If you add ${RAYPATH} at the end the content of directories listed
before will replace files found in the standard locations. This is
only important if you write your own *.cal files.

It now can't find reinhart.cal, I will dig around and sort out exactly how my .profile RAYPATH should be written, It clearly must be the way I have written that.
