aterm know what file to look for?

aterm doesn't care about .profile or other files. It starts a
shell,
based on the $SHELL environment variable and your login shell from
`/etc/passwd'.

What shell are you using?

$ echo $SHELL
/usr/local/bin/bash

$ grep peter /etc/passwd
peter:*:1002:100:User &:/home/peter:/usr/local/bin/bash

Do I need to set up a different file (.bashrc)?

GNU bash will not read .profile if you also have a .bash_profile
file.

What do you see in your HOME directory with:

$ ls -ld .*profile .*rc

In my local setup here, I see something like this:

$ pwd
/home/giorgos
$ ls -ld .bash* .sh* .profile
-rw------- 1 giorgos giorgos - 30103 Jul 11 18:47
.bash_history
-rw-rw-r-- 1 giorgos giorgos - 318 Jul 11 17:47
.bash_profile
-rw-rw-r-- 1 giorgos giorgos - 3742 Jul 11 18:17 .bashrc
-rw-rw-r-- 1 giorgos giorgos - 1006 Mar 29 07:19 .profile
-rw-rw-r-- 1 giorgos giorgos - 1433 Nov 18 2004 .shrc


$ ls -ld .*profile .*rc
