I am probbaly going to muddy the waters a bit here, and I suspect that
you all know more about this than me.

Between OSX 10.0 and 10.4 Apple have changed the default shell at least once.

If I bring up a terminal window it says tcsh at the top of it.

Looking round on the internet a while ago (while trying to get octave
into my path, as .tar version installled to usr/local/bin and that
wasn't on my path, and before giving up and letting Fink do all the
work) I found reference to a set of files in
 /Users/<Username>Library/init/tcsh/
including "path", "completions.mine", "aliases.mine" etc.

I don't know if these are still relevant. Or even anything to do with
this question.

FWIW I have no .bashrc anywhere that I can find and Octave works. 
Fink put it somewhere and added it to the path somehow. (I am sounding
like a real Mac user here, aren't I? )
