First thing I do whenever I get on the shell on my girlfriend's Mac:
bash
Which puts me in a bash shell.
It is hard to get Apple to default to this behavior. I have tried the
preferences, but that doesn't help.
However, by typeing "bash", I save myself tons of headaches.
On the other hand, I have written a few apple scripts that run shell
scripts. (Mostly to make it easy for my girlfriend to use.) These
apple scripts will use the tcsh shell, so I've learned to try to set
up the proper variable for tcsh and so fourth. But I hate tchs!
