[UCLA-LUG] .bash_profile and .bashrc files

[MIng Yu]

Hi,

In both my .bash_profile file and .bashrc file, I put a line " alias ls
= "ls -a --color"  ". So, when I use telnet to login and use ls, it does
show the real effect of  "ls -a --color". But, when I open a terminal by
clicking the icon under GNOME's desktop, it doesn't give me the result.
I have to run . $HOME/.bash_profile in order to have this effect.

Can you tell me what I should do to solve this problem?

Thanks.
