I have this in my .bash_profile. I think it was there, but commented out, by

# Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi
Thanks for the plethora of suggestions. I guess this proves that "speed reading" the man page is not quite the same as "reading" it. Again, thanks for the info, I will try to refrain from asking such dumb questions in the future :-)
