Executing . .bash_profile makes no difference. The new dir won't show
up in another session, only if I open a new bash window, but never in
a new session.
The only thing concerning .bashrc in .bash_profile are these lines:
# include .bashrc if it exists
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
But it actually is not much of a problem any more, coz I already found
some solution. Nevertheless thanks for telling how to restart .bashrc &
.bash_profile. I didn't know this.
Greetings, Manon.
