    Does anyone know if there is a way to force bash to source the .logout 
file on exit from the login shell. If it is supposed to do so, any clue why
it doesn't. I would prefer to still be able to use ^D to logout.I could alias
logout to ". .logout;\logout", but would ^D use this alias, or just log me out,
no questions asked?   


                         Any help appreciated,
                         Larry ( daffner@ecn.purdue.edu )
