Attached are the .profile and .shrc files I submitted to -hackers
(or -current, I don't remember) as candidates for inclusion in the
base. They were created out of a combination of what's already there, and
some things of my own. After much discussion nothing happened with them,
but I still think they are pretty good. :) I use them myself now.
BTW, there is nothing wrong with using bash, it's been my primary
shell for 7 years. I use /bin/sh as my login shell for both root and my
unprivileged user, and I have the following as the very first line in my
.profile:
[ -x /usr/local/bin/bash ] &&
exec /usr/local/bin/bash --rcfile $HOME/.bash_profile
Works like a charm.

Excess on occasion is exhilarating. It prevents moderation from
acquiring the deadening effect of a habit.
