*And* to the system's .profile (i.e., "/etc/profile" if you have it), so
that it also checks for Bourne and Korn shell users.
Now you have something that works for Bourne, Korn, and C shell users. Your
next mission, should you decide to accept it, is to make it work for all
users whose login shell is a specific application; remember, those
applications may not *have* the moral equivalent of "/etc/profile".
Gee, it looks like you'll have to modify "/etc/login" after all....
