Thanks Tristan,
I have had .bashrc contain:
. /home/roy/Main/Programs/Scripts/Definitions/bashrc
ever since the last bunch of suggestions were made. This makes my life
easier because I can centralise everything under ~/Main where most (if not
all) personal files go, even E-mail and JRE programs like Thunderbird,
Firefox, and RSSOwl. It suppose it makes things more easily portable.
