Actually you typed .batchrc not .bashrc, which would explain it. 
.bash_profile get's executed when you "login" whereas .bashrc get's 
executed when you start bash. So, for example, you can start bash and 
.bash_profile will execute as will .bashrc. Then you can start another 
bash which will run only .bashrc.
