Henry, Marius,
By accident I discovered that Apple's X11 seems to use .bashrc, not
.bash_profile, so I just duplicate any necessary path changes, etc., there.
It works the same for me for both xterm and rxvt.
I haven't tried emacs yet. Real UNIX people seem to prefer emacs to xterm to
rxvt. I guess I'm not a true UNIX geek yet.

Joe Koski is using the rxvt X11 terminal which probably does not have this
odd behavior of having to force things to be read in. He also said that it
has the scroll bar on the right and that the terminal behaves more like
expected and he built it from source.
For setting scroll bar etc. on Apple's xterm see

Thanks, Henry

Henry,
This is a known issue with Apple's xterm. By default it seems not to
read your .bash_proflie. I usually do a
bash --login
to force things to be read in.

I used X11 and tried to run octave and gnuplot in the X11/xterm
terminal.
Octave worked but would not plot because it now could not find
gnuplot. Then
I opened gnuplot and I could do a plot.
I must also have to set the path someplace for both octave and gnuplot
because I had to use /urs/local/bin/octave or gnuplot to open these
applications in the xterm terminal.
