[aklug] Goofy/basic bash_profile question

I've read the bash man page (about .bashrc, .bash_profile, when they are=20
executed, etc), and I still don't know what's going on.

I'm trying to set up some environment variables at login, and I've tried=20
adding them to both .bashrc and .bash_profile, and they will *NOT* show=20
up in either a direct console login nor in a KDE Konsole session. I=20
haven't a clue what's going on.

Even when I invoke "bash -" or "bash --login" at the prompt, the new=20
shell still does not have the environment variables in it. Yes, I'm=20
using the standard

export NAME=3D'value'

syntax.

This is Kubuntu 7.10, BTW, with bash 3.2.25

Any ideas?
