The problem is probably solved with Curt's and Greg's answers, but still to 
answer your question: ~/.bcrc is not a default config file for bc (sorry, 
didn't think about having it created on my own when I wrote my previous post) 
and is only read if you have "BC_ENV_ARGS=~/.bcrc" in your environment or as an 
argument to bc on the command line.

Kind regards,
Stefan
