Sometime in May William H. Magill assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Anything which operates from the AQUA GUI (the login window) requires  
| the path (and other similar stuff) be entered in the ~/.MacOSX/ 
| environment.plist file.

Now this is mighty interesting. Since I don't seem to have this directory,
I assume that it isn't created when a user account is created. You
mentioned the environment.plist file, but I would assume there are other
files which are commonly found in the ~/.MacOSX directory. I know that
OS X is based on bsd so this might be a System V question since I'm more
familiar with Linux: Is there a skeleton directory similar to /etc/skel
for the ~/.MacOSX directory that contians files commonly used?

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
