Chuckle, BTDT Erik. So anytime I muck with ~/.bashrc, I close and reopen ALL the shells on the system. I haven't a clue why dot sourcing it doesn't work, but it hasn't since back around the red-hat 5.2 days in around 2000. How many calendars back was that? I was nearly 20 years younger and 60 lbs heavier then, with just a trace of grey starting to show in my hair.
