 Off-hand, I can't.
 Like many, what I know has been learned over many years, as
 requirements present themselves, and my one still functioning
 memory brain cell has too much other irrelevant junk to keep
 track of.    ;)

 The important thing is that they are *just* scripts.

 Typically used to set paths, set environment variables, which
 terminal emulator, and such, but there is no reason they
 can't be extended, or call another script to perform various
 other tasks immediately upon log-in.
 They just happen to be scripts that are automagically called by
 the log-in into the shell, and executed before the shell is presented
 to the user, so they can be used to "pre setup" about anything
 one might wish.

 WindowsNT did something similar, though much, much more abbreviated,
 with batch files in server profile directories, if you have any familiarity
 with that style of setting a user environment through a log-on script.
