could amyone verify this odd problem? (sh, 2.1.5)
\
~/.profile -> any "alias" as the 1st non-comment line will show up
in a following "alias" command, but will not be found upon execution.
\
and using "export ENV=~/.shinit" instead
of        "ENV=~/.shinit; export ENV"
causes ~/.shinit  to not be executed by ~/.profile.
\
thanks.
