emacs + ansi-term on OSX

[Jai Dayal <dayalsoap@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have compiled and installed gnu emacs from source (I am not using
Aquamacs or EmacsForMac), however, when I run M-x ansi-term, it does not
run my .profile script (Mac doesn't use .bashrc). How can I setup the
ansi-term to run my .profile for each bash shell it runs? I typically have
multiple ansi-shells.

I also do something like this to make spawning ansi-shells and renaming
them easier:

(defun aterm (buffer-name)
  "Start a terminal and rename buffer."
  (interactive "sbuffer name: ")
  (ansi-term "/bin/bash")
  (rename-buffer buffer-name t))

Thanks much,
Jai
