I've changed the default shell to bash, which is good. But I thought 
that doing that instead of using the 'temporary' method of having 
execute a command (in this case /bin/bash/) using the Terminal 
Preferences would have bash showing the path to your location in the 
hierarchy the way tcsh does. How would I tell it to do that?
