trouble getting .shrc to take

Having set my shell to either sh or bash,
I can't seem to get .shrc to take.
If I have a .shrc that looks like:
PROMPT_DIRTRIM=3; export PROMPT_DIRTRIM
PS1=\\w$ ; export PS1
PS1 is not defined when I log in, and the prompt is set to the default instead.
If I do
./.shrc
nothing seems to change;
although executing the above commands from the shell itself works.
What am I missing?
