Im > using bash, but I dont have a .bashrc You can always use the -ls option to xterms to force them spawn "login" shells, instead of the usual interactive shells they yield. For instance, my ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/menu, the usual place for my window-manager's menu, I use: MENU "Applications" "XTerm" EXEC xterm -ls ... END "Applications" Oh, and another thing. You can always put the aliases in .bashrc, where they will be seen by all interactive invocations of Bash. If they are put into .bash_profile, they're only valid for login shells :> -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > For my public PGP key: finger keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr PGP fingerprint, phone and address in the headers of this message.
