I just want to try to keep things together, that's all. I was hoping to
avoid having to put anything in %HOME% --its on a different drive.

I thought that's what it said, but I couldn't believe that there is _no way_
to set this for interactive mode, too. Pity.

BTW, one very important feature of using _bashrc is the loading of aliases:
alias echo=/dev/env/DJDIR/bin/echo
alias dir=/dev/env/DJDIR/bin/dir

At times, for some reason, BASH seems to use either an internal 'echo' and
'dir' command, or  those from Windows OS, and this can cause configure &
make scripts to return wrong info. I have noticed *big* difference using
these settings in porting various gnu tools like GUILE and DRScheme.
