Doh! You're right!  Memory is the second thing to go as you get older...

However, I still don't think these two lines to run ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc
belong in /etc/profile (neither does "cd $HOME").  They subvert the
"--noprofile" and "--norc" options to BASH.

IIRC [t]csh doesn't user /etc/profile.  Use the source, Luke. (tm)
