I'm running the Brone Again Shell (bash), >but I don't know how to implement start-up files like .bashrc etc... 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
