Subject: why $HOME/.bashrc is not picked up?

Hi,
  I just installed latest cygwin on my WinXP, I can run command and do some 
usual stuff, but I found that .bashrc is not picked up in opening a new 
shell. Here is the file,

       set prompt="%/% "
       set autolist
       set -o vi
       cd $HOME
       alias vi="vim"

       echo hahaha
       ^^^^^^^^


  I can not see "hahaha" when I run cygwin.bat to open a new cygwin window.

  I am sure HOME is set as I add the following line to cygwin.bat,

        echo %HOME%

  and I see the correct path.

  Then I wonder why else might be wrong here?

Thanks.
