Chet,

BTW, After your reply, I was curious who case.edu was, but I'm seeing 
this (in both of my browsers):





Is your main university server down?

In the /usr/share/doc/bash/README.Debian.gz file:

5. What is /etc/bash.bashrc? It doesn't seem to be documented.

   The Debian version of bash is compiled with a special option
   (-DSYS_BASHRC) that makes bash read /etc/bash.bashrc before ~/.bashrc
   for interactive non-login shells. So, on Debian systems,
   /etc/bash.bashrc is to ~/.bashrc as /etc/profile is to
   ~/.bash_profile.
