<div dir="ltr">Success at last! Thank you, Ettore, and thank you, Herbert. I downloaded the attachments Ettore sent. I opened them in AlphaX and changed the line endings to unix in all of them. Then I moved them to \etc. (I didn't move csh.logout and bashrc, because they were identical to the files already there). I checked paths.d, which contained the TeX file, which had the content Ettore said it should have. Then I set the settings in the terminal back to using the default shell. Then I closed the terminal and restarted it. All of the complaints about missing things stopped. And here is what it said when I inquired about the path:<div><br></div><div>

I am attaching a fresh copy of:<br>
<br>
<br>
/etc/bashrc<br>
/etc/csh.cshrc<br>
/etc/csh.login<br>
/etc/csh.logout<br>
/etc/profile<br>
<br>
John,<br>
<br>
copy them into /etc. The important ones are csh.login and csh.cshrc. Again, put the attachments into Desktop and run as before:<br>
<br>
sudo cp csh.cshrc /etc<br>
sudo cp csh.login /etc<br>
<br>
The csh.login is the important one for the tcsh.<br>
<br>
Second, do you have the correct file in /etc/paths.d? It should be /etc/paths.d/TeX containing the single line<br>
<br>
/Library/TeX/texbin<br>
<br>
I hope you have not tried to change your login shell (yet). That’s not a preference. We can do it later.<br>
