OK, taking a deep breath and trying to control temper!

After following the results to the letter in step 1 of the Macintosh manual installation instructions, "Adding the CDP Path", here is my unsuccessful result and the Terminal results that I get when I try testing it ("xxx" is the substitute for my name):

As you can see, the test fails. Is this also related to why Sound Loom will not remember my directories, or anything else about my previous sessions?

Again, whatever help administrators or more experienced users/programmers can offer will be most appreciated. If I should contact someone privately for support, then let me know that, as well. Thank you.

Your PATH environment variable doesn't include cdp's path, modify your .bash_profile file into :
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/cdpr7/_cdp/_cdprogs
It worked for me

Thanks very much for the suggestion. The edit seems to have "taken"; now, I'll see how that affects Sound Loom's ability to remember my directory. I still can't run commands from the Terminal, such as "paplay"or the other example given in the instructions. I get a "command not found" message. So, we shall see!

UPDATE: Thanks very much, usw. Sound Loom now remembers everything it should, and this issue appears to be resolved. Soon, I'll try the suggestion you made in the other thread.
