getting started

   I am just getting started with ROOT and following the tutorials.
(I'm using an HP 712/80 machine.)

   I have noticed that inspite that one needs the file .rootrc it is
not present in the NA49 tutorial directory.

   I have copied therefore the file from Netscape:

# Path used by dynamic loader to find shared libraries
*.Root.DynamicPath:    .:~/rootlibs:$ROOTDIR/lib
# Activate memory statistics
Rint.Root.MemStat:       1
Rint.Load:               rootalias.C
Rint.Logon:              rootlogon.C
Rint.Logoff:             rootlogoff.C

together with rootalias.C, rootlogon.C, rootlogoff.C.
My rootlogon.C is this:
{
   printf("Welcome to the ROOT world");
}
My rootlogoff.C is this:
{
   printf("Hope you have enjoyed ROOT -- See you next time");
}



Invoking root I get only this:

  *******************************************

  *                                         *

  *******************************************

CINT/ROOT C/C++ Interpreter version 5.11.29, Dec 5 1996
Type ? for help. Commands must be C++ statements.
Enclose multiple statements between { }.

i.e. no trace from the  rootlogon.C.  

As next command I logoff: .q

and only now I get a trace from the rootlogon.C however in a rather strange
format:

Welcome to the ROOT worldHope you have enjoyed ROOT -- See you next timeHeap statistics
        size       alloc        free        diff
================================================
           4          10           1           9
           5          25           0          25
           6          35           0          35
etc...


What did I do wrong? Thanks.
