I get the following error when I open an xterm,

bash: PS1: command not found
bash: HISTSIZE: command not found
bash-2.01$

I don't understand this.  Both commands worked in my last Slink system.
I checked the list archives and didn't find anything.  Anyone know how
to fix this?

yes try deleting the spaces after PS1 and HISTSIZE.

try this:
________________________
case $TERM in
     xterm*)
         export PS1="\[\033]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]: \w\007\]\w\$ "
         ;;
     *)
         export PS1="\w\$ "
         ;;
esac


export HISTSIZE=1000

you should be able to export them all at once by adding a line:

export PS1 HISTSIZE to the bottom of the .bashrc instead of exporting 
each one individually, but it really does not matter which way you 
export them just so you do.
