Uncomment the three lines in the default ~/.bash_profile that source
~/.bashrc; you'll see them. The reason this doesn't happen automatically
is that some people like to keep login and non-login shells with
separate startup files, while some people prefer them to be the same.
See the INVOCATION section of 'man bash' for more.
