This is the same as doing the following ***on Windows***:
open an MS_DOS prompt and type:
>set FRED=3Dthing
>set
>exit
You'll see from the second line that FRED was indeed set, but after
the exit, it's gone, forever. Open a new dos window to check this.

The exact same thing is happening on Linux, only with different file
names. On Windows, you'd edit your autoexec.bat file to make the
change permanent (or use a GUI admin tool on later versions); on linux
the file happens to be called .profile or similar. (There is almost
certainly a GUI admin program on your system, but I don't know what it
is called.)

When you edit that file (after making a backup copy!), be sure to run
source .bash_profile to check for errors before rebooting. You can
actually try running exu immediately after source .bash_profile to
speed things up a bit.

If you still have problems, run ls -al and post the list of all files
that start with a dot.
