        "AAARRRGGHHH" was my first response when I read this!  Linux is
nothing like dildows 95, you _don't_ need to reboot every time you make a
change.

In the case of changing the .bash you have a couple of options...

1 - logout and then login again

or an even better way...

2 - type "source .bash" (without the "") that will re-read the file
