Terminal ooops

[re.mark]

Hi, Trying to customize my desktop with Geektool/icalBuddy et al
running into a few problems getting icalBuddy to work, so Ive been trying to get it to work initially in terminal but getting some problems there too.

Im a bit of a Terminal noob, but currently the prompt in terminal is:

creativesolving2:~ markchadwick$

(markchadwick being my macbooks name)

Now i could be wrong, but that looks wrong to me.
Ive treid googleing 'creativesolveing2' and other variations and come up with little to no results, which leads me to think something up...
Am i right here? If so, how do I resolve??

Cheeers for help
Mark

open up your terminal, and look at your .bash_profile....

edit: oops no, sorting now....
edit2: ok sorrrry, how is it I can look at the .bash_profile in terminal? Is this what Im looking for?

# Setting PATH for MacPython 2.5
# The orginal version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH

".bash_profile" 5L, 174C


if i type ~/.bash_profile I get permissions denied

interesting, you should be able to edit your .bash_profile

in terminal, run ls -alh .bash_profile

get this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 markchadwick staff 174B 27 Jul 2008 .bash_profile

After a restart terminal prompt is now saying

mark-chadwicks-macbook:~ markchadwick$

which I think is right again. funny what a restart can do...
Going to read up heavily on bash 2nite as I still dont fully understand it tbh.

Is that the right message i should be getting when I try to edit .bash_profile ?
