MYCONFIG is not in any of those places. I had the same problem last week with another environment variable PROMPT_COMMAND where it was set to:

Code:
PROMPT_COMMAND="pwd"

and I was sick of looking at the working directory with every new line on the CL and it wouldn't go away until I explicitly said PROMPT_COMMAND="" !

please help
