I get this -

~/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin:/Users/dan/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

nothing about /sw/bin etc

How do I get it to see fink?
Marcello suggested putting this code into my .tcshrc file

if ( $?DISPLAY ) then
   set OLDDISPLAY=$DISPLAY
   unsetenv DISPLAY
   source /sw/bin/init.csh
   setenv DISPLAY $OLDDISPLAY
else
   source /sw/bin/init.csh
endif

Is that what this code will do?
