I think (not sure) that is have it figured out. The initial login
reads ~/.profile but subsequent sub shells only read ~/.bashrc
(.kshrc, or .cshrc ...). The ~/.profile contains the path and
environment variables. The login shell is the the only one to set
these. This initial login is referred to as the login shell? Do I
understand that correctly?
