What shell are you using? If you don't know, type

echo $SHELL

from a prompt. Then we can tell you how to set it.

/bin/bash

You can add the variable to ~/.profile or .bashrc

GNUMERIC_ENABLE_XL_OVERWRITE="variable value"

export GNUMERIC_ENABLE_XL_OVERWRITE

tried GNUMERIC_ENABLE_XL_OVERWRITE=.bashrc GNUMERIC_ENABLE_XL_OVERWRITE TRIED with all small letters tried with = .bashrc (with a space) tried the ~/.profile it seem to take all but the one with the space but still says NO...must add variable......

Huh?

You said you need to set the variable GNUMERIC_ENABLE_XL_OVERWRITE.

What do you need to set it to?

I just suggested the files to add the variable definition to so the variable will be set whenever you logon.
