Try the command tcsh, and see if the layout of your prompt changes (which it will if you are, e.g. in the basic shell) and if you can now do the commands you want.
To anybody coming in after me: do you have any ideas how to get a bash (bourne again shell) running in terminal - just dropping some binary in /bin/... ? or is it something more.

[code]where "grep";echo "-\
";echo $PATH;</pre><hr></blockquote>
if the return'd from where isn't in ur PATH, then u wont be able to run grep. u can edit (or create) ur .tcshrc (in ur home). add a line with this:
[code]setenv PATH "<added path>:$PATH";</pre><hr></blockquote>
in x.2 /usr/local/bin was taken out of the path, i think, and thats probably all u need as "<added path>".
";echo $PATH;
-\
returns:
/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
If I make a .tschrc with:
setenv PATH "</usr/bin>:$PATH";
setenv PATH "</bin>:$PATH";
setenv PATH "</usr/sbin>:$PATH";
setenv PATH "</sbin>:$PATH";
setenv PATH "</usr/local/bin>:$PATH";
I still get:
[localhost:~] me% grep
grep: Commnd not found.

ls -l /usr/bin/grep
if it's missing, perhaps you unchecked the BSD options when you installed the OS.

sorry about that, but u shouldn't have the < & > around teh path items. i should'v mentioned that.
u dont have to re-add all the things that are in ur path (/usr/bin, /sbin, etc). put this in ur .tcshrc:
[code]setenv PATH "/usr/local/bin:$PATH"</pre><hr></blockquote>
u cna take out the other setenv's with the braces in them.
