 I've two accounts on the computer.  The port of bash was successful from
 the account the port command was issued from, but this port had no impact
 on the second account.  The port created .profile in the account that
 worked; that file appends two required paths to $PATH. In contrast, no
 similar file was created for the second account.

 To recover, I updated the existing .bash_profile in the second adding the
 two paths.  The two paths are: /opt/local/bin and /opt/local/sbin.

 There was no indication neither during, nor at the conclusion of the port
 that there was a problem or even a concern.  Further, I suspect this is a
 product of being my first attempt to install a port and had nothing to do
 with bash itself.
