Note that since umask is a per-process flag, and only inherited from 
parents to children, not the other way around, if the rc file is run as a 
separate shell script (and I assume it is) instead of "sourced" from the 
the shell that actually executes the programs you run, then this won't 
help at all.

Try:

	sh -c "umask 0777 ; umask" ; umask

to see in more graphic ("textual") detail what I mean.
