When opening Apple Terminal in Mac OS X, the program automatically searches for a PROFILE file and executes it line by line as a shell script. To manually run a PROFILE file, use the command source ~/.profile.
PROFILE files are hidden files that do not have a filename prefix. They are always named .profile and are located in the user's home directory.
NOTE: Apple Terminal is a Bash shell program.
