I would like to use this for my 'toor' user, but how do i preserve all  my
aliases and shell variables?  I see lots of stuff going on in .cshrc and i
put some extra stuff in .profile, but when i run zsh or bash after my
prompt comes up, all that info is lost in the new shell.  Is there a way
to preserve it?
