One more Annoyance with Tiger Terminal

...So, when I moved .bashrc to .bash_profile, I lost my PATH environment variable.  (Rather, it was stripped down to next to nothing.)

To fix this, I moved .bash_profile aside, re-ran terminal, ran env to get the old PATH, and pasted that into my .bash_profile where I used to say "$PATH".  Something like this:

export PATH=/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:$GEM_HOME/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/Users/cpr4cpu/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin

...Pain in the arse, this.
