OK, this didn't work.
SEVERAL ISSUES:
1) I think that should force it to read ~/.bash_login
2) It SHOULD be reading environment variable, right? (if this is a
bug that has slipped into 0.3.6, that's fine.. these things happen :)
I'm confused about how it gets the environment variable settings
that it does. If I put "export COLORFGBG='11;default;0'" in
.bash_login and nothing in .bashrc, and I start an aterm, env shows
me that COLORFGBG='11;0'. Where does it get this value?
3) when given the -e argument, aterm does not read .bashrc or
.bash_login regardless of the -ls arg. I think that's normal,
though, judging from the aterm manpage. (when given "-e mutt", it
starts mutt _instead of_ the shell) It wouldn't matter though
if it read environment variables.
Thanks,
Michael
