oops!  my previous post was 1/2 deleted because i used periods as
line seperators in a perl/www based emailer - sorry.
\
anyway ...  /etc/profile -> any ordinary variables used remain in a
users environment and must be explicitly "unset" in /etc/profile
to avoid this.  i don't think this should be! (2.1.5)
\
~/.profile -> the first alias (only verified as first non-comment
line) will never work, resulting in a "alias: not found" error.
although it will show if the "alias" command is issued.  even if
you try to re-alias that 1st alias in ~/.profile, nothing
changes, and the alias still does not work.
\
has this been fixed?  or am i being stupid here?
\
thanks.
