This is a very-beginner question: I installed Fink 0.5.0a on OS X.2 and it seems to have loaded correctly in the "sw" file on the disk, but when I type "pico .cshrc" in the Terminal.app window I get the reply "command not found". I'm following the "Quick Start" page of the Fink Downloads online manual. Thank you. Stevie.
Your shell has a list of directories it looks in to find executables when you type a command name (like 'pico'). When the shell starts in a particular window, it figures out what that list is, based on information that the system administrator or you put in your shell startup files. Check the 'man' page for your shell for details.

The probable cause of 'not found' is that your shell's list of directories doesn't include '/sw/bin', and if that's the case, you can add it.
pico, as far as I know, is not a Fink install, it coms with the system, and thus I don't see why adding /sw/bin, etc, to his path would solve the issue.

Is it possible that he did not install the BSD subsystem, and all that?

Try this:

/usr/bin/pico ~/.cshrc

that should do it, if you have pico.
