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!
