Basically, bash reads only $HOME/.bash_login on login, only
$HOME/.bashrc on no-login (See bash(1) for more information).  You may
add the following lines to .bashrc.

-----8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<-----
gc=()
{
	telnet csugrad.cs.vt.edu
}
-----8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<-----

And you may want to add

. $HOME/.bashrc

into the last line of .bash_login.
