It is just a text file containing shell script commands. Create it with any text editor (such as vim or emacs).

Reply:it's a text file. there are multiple ways to do it. If you know VI then you already know the answer. :) otherwise just do aither:

or





cat /dev/null %26gt; .profile





it'll create an empty file for you that you can later edit with any text editor.
