Where is .bashrc?

I want to edit my .bashrc but I can't find it. Its not in my home dir. Does Slackware 9.1 store it someplace else?

Edit: I think I can just make a .bashrc but I am supposed to call it from .bash_profile and I have no .bash_profile also. Do I make one?

There is a file, "profile", in /etc/ that all users will read on login. If you want things
on a per user basis, then create .bash_profile or .bash_login or .profile
in /home/<user>/, if all users need it, put it in /etc/profile, or put some files in
/etc/skel/ so that when you add new users, they'll have copies in their home
dir of what's setup in /etc/skel/ that they can customize if necessary.

("man bash" has more info)
