This file is OK since some years, $path is the same as $PATH. When I  
create a new instance of Terminal it echoes what it has read before.  
Xterm in MacPorts' X11 has the same echo output as Terminal.

After I have launched X11, a different value is echoed into Console.

Before the case block is entered, bash's PATH is the one as read with  
defaults from ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist.

So the change happens around:

	csh|tcsh) exec -l "${SHELL}" -c 'exec $argv:q' "${@}" ;;


When I invoke in bash (invoked by 'bash <RET>' which reads ~/.bashrc)  
inside Terminal

	exec -l /bin/tcsh -c 'exec $argv:q' "${@}"

the correct path and PATH settings are echoed from ~/.cshrc (because  
I don't have a ~/.tcshrc file).
