Sorry, still confused here, but I'm wondering if I've hit on  
something here. Note these instructions from the web site:

Since Tiger  (OS10.4) includes a tcsh shell rather than the old bash  
shell, should this edit cure the problem? I'm reluctant to edit this  
file before I know because it relates to my Fink setup and I'm a novice.

Thanks.
