Hi,
I'm paranoid. I don't want to accidentally change the originals when I don't
yet understand what they do.

why do you need to copy them to other filenames? just open them in an
editor, like anything else.

Hi,
It sounds like that the next time I log in and get to my home directory I
should type
ls -la
And see which files start with a period.
Then, I could copy them to other file names and look at them to see what
they contain.
I think I may have one called .profile along with the one called .bashrc.
Thanks.

you could also set it up in .bashrc or similar files when you log in.
Thanks,
