So a login shell will source .profile, which will source .bashrc and add the path. A non login shell will source .bashrc directly and add the path. This seems to work for me.
I'm not sure what happens for script that use #!/bin/sh since that runs dash instead of bash. The dash docs say it sources .profile on login shells so that should be OK, but for non login shells it says it looks in the ENV environment variable for the name of a file to execute. There is no such variable defined currently so it does nothing. Perhaps these commands should be put in a .shinit file and then set ENV=$HOME/.shint in the .profile file to take card of setting it for login shells, and have the .bashrc source this .shinit file for non login shells.
