Trouble setting up Finance::Quote

[Cory Helfrich]

Hello David,

I think you are correct. My xterm $SHELL is /bin/bash, just like  
terminal. However, when I start xterm, the commands in my .profile  
are not executed, while these commands are executed when I start  
terminal (commands to modify the path and prompt, etc.). However, I  
do not know where to put these commands so they will be executed when  
X11 starts. Do you know?

Thanks,
Cory
