I don't know if this is a question as much as a comment...

First of all, I am a beginner with fink and almost a beginner with a 
unix shell.

Here's the deal: The instructions for installing fink say that the line
"source /sw/bin/init.csh"
should be added to the beginning of the .cshrc file. It happens that 
I am using the tcsh shell and when I add that line to the beginning 
of my .tcshrc I don't get the fink utilities to work. Now, I noticed 
that the directories that /sw/bin/init.csh adds to $path were not 
there after logging in. So I decided to add the above line to 
/Library/init/tcsh/login.mine and now it works fine! So I'm thinking 
that the $path variable get's defined after the .tcshrc has been 
read. Is this usual? I guess my question is whether what I did is 
fine or I should do something else.
