Greg,
I didn't keep your earlier question, but you need to add
  /sw/bin:/sw/sbin  to your path for Fink files and 
/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin for X11 files.

The colon delimits the string in PATH.

There are several files that can configure Terminal when it starts. In 
your Home directory (~/) there could be .tcshrc and/or .cshrc. The 
period before the file name means that the file is invisible to the GUI 
environment, but you can see it in the Terminal.

 From the Terminal type:
cd ~/  .... and then enter
ls -al  ... and enter

Look for the 2 files mentioned above. If .tcshrc is there, type pico 
.tcshrc in the Terminal. Pico is a text editor. If .tcshrc has info in 
it, use the arrow keys to move to a new line. Type in:

setenv PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin.

The control-o to write the file "out". Y to confirm overwriting, and 
last control-x to exit pico.

If only .cshrc is found, use the info above, substituting .cshrc for 
.tcshrc.

If neither is there, you will create the .cshrc file with pico. Same as 
above, except you will not be asked to confirm overwriting to existing 
file.

Restart the Terminal and see if this does the trick.

I hope all this is right. It took a lot of hunting for info about PATH 
and Shells to even begin to get my PATH working as I wished.
