Nice that that worked.  Odd that a user's .bashrc would have a comment 
saying not to edit it due to updates though - .bashrc in the user's 
directory is meant for the user to edit and make changes to according to their
needs..  It doesn't seem right that there would be restrictions for a user not
to edit their .bashrc file.  Good that you found a solution 
though.  It seems like there are several ways to do everything in Linux.
