Strange .bashrc Problem

["Stephen P. Molnar" <s.molnar@sbcglobal.net>]

I am running Debian Stretch on my 64-bit Linux platform.  I have just 
installed the molecular docking program HEX. The installation program 
added the line shown below to .bash_profile:

#
#  Lines added by 'hex_setup.bin' for Hex 8.0.0
#

export HEX_ROOT=/home/comp/Apps/Hex
export HEX_VERSION=8.0.0
export PATH=${PATH}:${HEX_ROOT}/bin

export HEX_CACHE=/home/comp/Apps/Hex/hex_cache

Whie the additional lines are necessary for the execution of HEX they 
seem to have wiped oour all of the alias entries I have in .bashrc.  
Rebooting the system does not eliminate the problem!  Bu bumbling about 
I discovered the it is necessary to source .bashrc inorder to recticate 
the alias lines in .bashrc (note:  commenting out the added lines in 
.bash_profile did not solve the problem).

What's going on what is the fix?

Thanks in advance.
