Brad,

I didn't reboot (unless by coincidence as the device may have rebooted,
mine does that once in a while). However, I always fully restarted xterm
after having checked/tested the scripts for typos in the running session.
I definitely did not reboot in the final iteration. xterm seems to have
grasped other mods to .profile without reboot as well.

So, I can't help you resolve your puzzle, but I'll keep your mail in
mind, if I encounter strange things of this kind. 

Anyone more knowledgeable to help us out here?

Best,

Stefan
