John,
  Thanks. However, I opened a terminal window and looked in my home
directory (ls -l .*) and did not find a .bashrc or .profile file. My
login shell is set to bash. Where should the .bashrc file be located,
and if I don't find one, should I just create it, with those two
commands you mentioned?
