"source" is a built-in command in the bash shell, which is what you get with utelnetd. I forgot that it wasn't available in the shell used by pbterm. In pbterm, you would use the "." command instead of "source":

Code:

. /mnt/ext1/system/bin/setpath

(note the space between the "." and the filename.) I added it to my list of User Commands in pbterm to make it easy to set up the path. Note that the script can have any name and be placed anywhere you are allowed to write a file. It doesn't have to be named /mnt/ext1/system/bin/setpath.
