How are you starting the shell? If it's an xterm, it isn't a login shell unless it is started with "xterm -ls" or the resource "*vt100.loginShell: true" -- Simulations are like miniskirts, they show a lot and hide the essentials. -- Hubert Kirrman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
