Nope, those are merely the next two lines from the file when I ran `grep -C X` to find where I'd read about putting files in /etc/profile.d/.

If you read my original post (solved) now, you'll see that in my actual my_defaults.sh file I only concern myself with the MANPAGER, the history file and vi-style line editing (for Bash). 

Sorry if this was unclear,
