.bashrc - Simple question

[Ben Kennish]

A refreshing change... a question that can be answered in a couple of
seconds (I hope!)

Why isn't "/root/.bashrc" run when I telnet to a VS as admin?  

I've inserted 

alias rm='rm -i'

in it but I dont get any prompt to delete files.  Typing the above line
in manually after having logged on does give me a prompt so the script
doesnt seem to be getting run?

Thanks,
