Ugh. I figured it had to be some stupid technicality... so if I was to
put it in /etc/profile and restart X (logging out to have it re-read the
files anyway), it'd read it. But, if I spawn netscape from an xterm, it
won't work the same way and I'd need to have it in /etc/bashrc.

Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

I'd switch to csh except that I think bash is a bit more to my liking
