rc files

There are a number of shell initialization files:

/etc/bash.bashrc - default bash setup stuff
~/.bashrc - default bash setup stuff. ~/.bashrc sources rc file at /mnt/e/u/bruce/.bashrc This file is easier to edit because it is on NTFS.
.merisrc - Root environment variables for MERIS setup.
ROOT/app/.merisrc & $MROOT/meris/.merisrc - contains the settings for the meris build and the app build.
