.bashrc is does not exist by default. It is a user created file that exists in the home directory. If it exists your bash shell will read it to get certain configuration settings you provide. You create it via the Terminal with an app like pico, vi(m) or emacs or a text editor like SubEthaEdit, BBEdit, or TextEdit--- making sure it that the file you create is saved as pure text and has Unix line endings.

Depending on the shell you're using, you can add to the PATH definition in the
.cshrc, .kshrc, or .bashrc files (for CSH, KSH, or BASH respectively).
Under Bash and Ksh, the definition would be:
export PATH=$PATH:/sw/bin
>snip<No, it doesn't. Your information is at best partially correct. The right way to do this under bash or zsh or ksh is
source /sw/bin/init.sh
or
. /sw/bin/init.sh
