I've attempted to look at the faq and the list archive and didn't see these questions. I think they're a result of some mis- understanding I have of UNIX. When I launch my cygwin window from the icon my .bashrc isn't run. Will someone please tell me why not? Also after I 'source' the .bashrc the system still behaves as though my path updates never occurred. I must be missing something here also. Help will be greatly appreciated!
