On my computer (not the computer of the guy who wanted my help) I
opened TextWrangler and found a .bash_history and a bash_profile file
(in HBrazee).   The latter I created myself and it consists of one
line saying:
ls

I was hoping that when I started Terminal, I would see ls run, but
nothing happens.   So I try running it (obviously incorrectly):
