- If you want to see your aliases and the like in these windows as well
- the only thing that we've found that works is to have your .vueprofile
- source your .profile (i.e., either . .profile for sh or ksh and source
- .login for csh) then set hpterm*loginShell: True via xrdb. The only
- other caveat is that the .profile has to set the ENV variable or
- source your rc file.
