  4. If you have licensed the P-STAT program you must set your PSKEY as an environment variable. It can be placed in either .login or .profile (depending on the shell you are using). If you use the Bourne shell, the following two statements would be placed in your .profile file.
     
     PSKEY=AbCd34xxxxx
     export PSKEY
     
     If you are using the c shell, the following is appropriate and could be placed in your .login file.
     
     setenv PSKEY=AbCd34xxxxx
     
     Replace AbCd34xxxxx with the PSKEY supplied by support@pstat.com.
     
     
  5. There are a number of other environment variables, that you may wish to set. These are documented in "P-STAT: Introductory Manual" chapter 1 page 6.
     
     
• The helpfile is available in both plain text and in html for use in a browser. "pstat.help" is the text helpfile which is accessed when you enter HELP $ from the command line. To access the help files in your browser move to the directory "helpfiles" which is located in the directory where the p-stat module is installed. Then select "index.html".
