No, it's not compiled into bash. Reading `man bash` probably answers this question but... what is happening every time bash starts is that it executes /etc/profile and every .sh script in /etc/profile.d; in the first one you'll find how it creates the $HOME directory, I don't think .bashrc is created or copied from anywhere, that one is the user's responsibility (same for .profile, .bash_profile, etc. which on Unix/Linux are created when the user account is created). -- René Berber -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
