Gents,
Attempting to get Android SDK running and I think I've borked my bash
profile. Now, from a terminal window, most commands just give
"command not found". CD to a directory works, for example, but LS to
list contents does not. pico doesn't work. I'm not sure what I've
done and I've even less idea how to put it back to normal.
Anyone able to help me out?

Ric

Type this:

PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:$PATH

This will let you run normal commands like ls. Then figure out how you
knobbled your profile :-)

If you type 'set' in the terminal what is your path?

Mine is
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/Users/wo
ody/Projects/android-sdk-mac_x86-1.5_r1/tools

hmm.. should change that last bit now that I don't have that folder!

Guys, ran PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:$PATH in terminal, and it executes,
but when I then try an "ls" command it's still not found.
After this, running "set" gives

You need both /bin and /usr/bin.
