Hi,<br>
<br>
My name is Diamilet Perez-Betancourt and I'm a SOARS Protege at the
beginning of my summer research at MMM. As part of my project, I
have to use NCL. I tried to install it in my personal computer
(MacOS X Version 10.6.7) following the instructions from the
website. I set the path and was able to use it, but I found that I
have to set the path every time I start a <i>bash</i> session in
order for my computer to find ncl. Do you think that's something you
could please help me with?<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot,<br>
Diamilet<br>
