I knew that. Unfortunately, I also 'knew' that the first shell would
mystically know it was the login shell.
I added -login to my startup commands and /etc/profile and
~/.bash_profile now get called automatically.
Sadly, the environment variables (except for $PATH) are still not getting
converted until I do it in /etc/profile.
Thanks,
Mac :})
