I am a complete newbie to the Unix environment. We are running Solaris
8. Every time I make a change to the environment variables for a
particular user (notes, sybase, etc. ) the change doesn't stick after
i log off as that particular user. Does anyone have any suggestions on
how to make the changes stick regardless of if and when you log off?

Thanks in advance.

Put it in your shell's startup file/s.

Put the variables and export them in these files.
.profile for ksh and .cshrc for csh.
