[John Burt]

[C07H5099DJD2:~/Documents/TeX documents/articles] burt% echo $SHELL

/bin/tcsh

[C07H5099DJD2:~/Documents/TeX documents/articles] burt% echo $shell

/bin/tcsh

[C07H5099DJD2:~/Documents/TeX documents/articles] burt% ls -F /Library/TeX

Distributions/ Documentation@ Local@ Root@ texbin@


.login does not exist, but .cshrc does (and is empty).
