Uncomment the three lines in the default ~/.bash_profile that source ~/.bashrc; you'll see them. The reason this doesn't happen automatically is that some people like to keep login and non-login shells with separate startup files, while some people prefer them to be the same. See the INVOCATION section of 'man bash' for more. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
