10.3: Revert to the tcsh shell after a clean install
Authored by: timb on Oct 27, '03 12:29:07PM

I submitted this hint earlier, but it wasn't accepted. I find it easier to just open Terminal, type export EDITOR=pico and then type chsh, the rest is pretty self explanatory. :-D

You can also use the command:

chpass -s /bin/tcsh

From the command line. It will save you the trouble of having to use a separate shell-based text editor like pico, vi, or emacs.

It's also interesting to note that vi in Panther has been replaced with vim.
