[Help-bash] getting bash sh to read in personal config

[David Niklas]

Hello,
As you may or may not know, fvwm uses a config file for menus and all
menu items are executed via sh (or so I beileve). I wanted to define
some variables for arguments such as a font to keep the size of the menu
down, and make accessing these long arguments easier I want to place
them in a file.
I tried reading the man pages to no avail. I tried placing my options
in ~/.profile and ~/profile to no avail. I know that there must be some
way to do this.

Thanks, David
