Don't know too much about BASH, but you should create a (I think) .profile 
file. I'm not sure if it will execute every time you log on or every time you 
run an instance of BASH - one of the two.

Personally I recommend using tcsh as your shell. You then have a .login file 
which executes when you login, and a .cshrc file which executes every instance 
of tcsh which is run. This is where you can put your alias, history, prompt 
settings etc etc.

Good Luck
