Have you tried looking in ~/.profile? Sorry if that's too obvious...
Thanks,

A weird problem with Terminal.app has arisen in which a command line

The problem seems to owe its origins to some experiments with
"ScriptGUI" to see if that app would create a 'droplet' to fulfil the
function of the command line above. Somehow a file (?) seems to have
got left somewhere (?) in the bowels of system which is 'read' by
Terminal each time a new window is opened. "ScriptGUI" itself has
subsequently been deleted.
Can anyone suggest where to look for such a file? Where could any
'command string' be kept in the system which would be 'written' to the
Terminal window on launch?
The machine BTW is a G4 running Tiger 10.4.6. and for what it's worth,
both of the files referenced in the spurious command line have been
deleted.
I would be deeply grateful to anyone for some clues as to where to
look or what to do to mitigate the nuisance (and apologise if this is
too far off-topic for this list).
