I, for example, have tcsh as login shell ... Do you know what your  
AppleScript does when there's no file $HOME/.bash_profile?

	nidump passwd . | grep $USER | awk -F/ '{print $NF}'	— to give the name
	nidump passwd . | grep $USER | awk -F: '{print $NF}'	— to give the  
pathname

would tell you the login shell. Inside a shell's runtime environment  
you can find $SHELL.


For me

	osascript -e 'do shell script "echo $PATH"'

returns the PATH as if I were using "echo $PATH" in a shell in  
Terminal – it's one element longer than recorded in ~/.MacOSX/ 
environment.plist (to get the value out of this file, if it exists:  
defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment PATH).


'do shell script "echo $PATH"' has the advantage that the user's  
login shell will be used automagically to execute the shell command.
