I have now edited /etc/shells with MacVim to add /opt/local/bin/bash as the first in the list. I then ran 'chsh -s /opt/local/bin/bash'. I had already done what you suggested in Terminal's Preferences -> Settings -> Shell. I removed all terminals, opened a new one and typed 'echo $BASH_VERSION'. The result was the same as before: 3.2.48(1)-release. What have I missed?
