[Mac OS X TeX] paths & the terminal - command line no longer works

[Arun Mangalam]

<x-flowed>Hello,

It worked before because you used Wierda's nice package to install 
tetex. The installer sets paths in one of the files [I'm not sure which] 
in the directory "/usr/share/init/tcsh". The paths that it sets is just 
the directory of tex binaries: 
"/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin1.3.7". You can set that path 
in your home directory, OR, like the installer, set it again in [maybe?] 
"/usr/share/init/tcsh/environment" and hope that Apple doesn't it 
overwrite the file again :).
