As far as the .bashrc, and .profile - just create them yourself. Bash won't
run "a.exe" because you don't have "." in your path. You can cd to wherever
the executable is, and type "./a.exe", or you can add "." to your path, with
an entry like this in your .bashrc:
export PATH=$PATH:.
Generally, you want "." to be the last path in your search path, for
security reasons.
