Subject:	Where to put profile files?
Message-Id:	<06041769152036@mail.nls.net>

When I start up Bash from NT it opens in 
   c:\winnt\profiles\randall\desktop

So I tried putting .bash_login and .bash_profile in it with just one line:
 alias dir=ls

This doesn't work. I tried putting a profile file with the same contents in the etc directory under 
where I have cygwin installed:
  j:\prg\cygwin\etc\profile

That doesn't make any difference either.

I tried creating an etc directory on the c drive and putting profile in it too:
   c:\etc\profile

That doesn't help either.

So I'm running out of ideas. Anyone know where the Cygwin Bash goes looking for profile, 
.bash_login, .bash_profile, and .bashrc?
