I did not find such a file in my home directory:

[AireyDC:~] dairey% ls -a
.			.flexlmrc		.tcsh_history
..			.fonts.cache-1		.texlive2007
.B3			.gimp-2.2		.thumbnails
.CFUserTextEncoding	.gnome2			.webex
.CLC_tmp_lazy1		.inkscape		.xdvirc
.DS_Store		.inkscape-etc		CLC_Data
.MCXLC			.jalview_properties	Desktop
.RData			.java			Documents
.Rhistory		.jin			Downloads
.Trash			.jpi_cache		Library
.Xauthority		.lesshst		Movies
.bash_history		.nsmbrc			Music
.config			.parallels_settings	Pictures
.crash_reportrc		.recently-used		Public
.cups			.rnd			Sites
.cytoscape		.ssh			gsea_home
[AireyDC:~] dairey%

The only profile file I could find was in /etc/, name "profile", with  
the following contents:

# System-wide .profile for sh(1)

PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
export PATH

if [ "${BASH-no}" != "no" ]; then
	[ -r /etc/bashrc ] && . /etc/bashrc
fi


I think my shell is tcsh, and I don't remember choosing it over bash.  
It says tcsh in the window name, and preferences are set to default in  
Terminal preferences.
