Howdy,

Most likely because the path is messed up.

Howdy,

Please run

cat ~/.cshrc

and let me know what is there. It appears that there are some commands that can't be executed because of the messed up path variable.

You can change the login shell by checking the `Command (complete path):' button and inserting /bin/bash for the command. Once you do that Quit Terminal and restart it; you prompt should look a bit different (probably ending with a $ rather than a %). Then let me know what

echo $PATH

gives.

Good Luck,
