Hi all, i thought for some reason my .bitchxrc wasnt working so i put a few important variables in .bash_profile instead, like "export IRCNICK=tkz". But now i need the functionality of .bitchxrc, its definately working because when i comment out the variables in .bash_profile it loads the cyp script for me ("i put ^load ~/cyp/cyp.bx in there"). The problem is i cant seem to set any variables in bitchxrc using either "set" or "export" and if i uncomment the variables in .bash_profile, .bitchxrc doesnt work anymore, how can i set variables in .bitchxrc or get around my problem? Anyone know what im doing wrong?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Should work for these and other commands:

ircuser name
set realname name

IRCNICK doesn't work from the rc file so keep it in your .bash_profile

You can make binds like:

bind ^X parse_command window next
bind ^Z parse_command window kill

and aliases too

Google for bitchxrc and you should find some info

What is the the command interpreter in the .bitchxrc file? Is it the same as the shell you are using? I think new processes of a different shell inherit the parent shells variables, but I don't think it works the other way around (exporting something to sh and you are running bash for instance). There might be a way to export to the specific shell, but I don't know what it is. Try changing the command interpreter in the .bitchxrc file to the one you are using and see if that helps.
