Re: 1.7.7: bash --login does not read my ~/.profile

Hello,

Recently I installed Cygwin on an XP computer at home. But when I
execute Cygwin.bat (contents below), the bash shell does not read my
~/.profile (contents below).


Do you have either ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login in existence?
bash reads the *first* one only of .bash_profile, .bash_login, and
.profile that it finds, and it searches in the order I listed them.
