Awesome! Those were exactly what I was looking for, and I also learned
a few other things along the way. Thanks so much.

I'm having one other problem now, though, which might be a bug. When
bash is started with the "-l" (that's an 'L') flag, aliases that I've
defined in .bashrc don't take effect. My .bash_profile includes a call
to .bashrc, and I know that .bashrc is being executed because I've put
an echo at the beginning and end of it, and both messages are printed
out. Even if I execute .bashrc manually, it will print out the
messages, but I get no aliases. I can, however, manually enter
aliases, and they work.
