Check your current shell by entering `echo $0` at a console. You might try placing some echo commands in your .bash_profile and .bashrc files then re-sourcing them (`source ~/.bashrc`) to double-check for typos. Also double-check to see whether /etc/bashrc is overriding something you put into ~/.bashrc. This assumes that the last thing your ~/.bashrc does is to source /etc/bashrc. HTH, Paul
