You didn’t put `echo` before the variable name, so it was trying to “execute” the variable instead of displaying its value. But I suppose you have your answer either way: /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support

ok, thanks I see. But reading the para. 5.4.7 on http://manual.macromates.com/en/bundles#support_folder.html it should be

/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support

Or have I misunderstood. How to change this, if necesarry?
