This won't work. Instead take a look in the faq or type "fink install abiword" and follow the instructions given to you on the screen. >> Secondly, and I know this isn't a FINK question, how can I use >> the BASH shell instead of TCSH??

It lays in /etc/passwd and you can edit it with every editor you like, you only need root privileges to do so. Otherwise this: > Otherwise, you can specify a path for Terminal under > preferences. works too.
