I didn't see any obvious source of bourne shell code.
One odd thing I noticed. Apparently some time in the distant past I
brought one of the system init files into my home dir:
I have a .cshrc file that is a 1989 vintage Athena .cshrc file.
(I tried to attach it from AFS, but looking for a file that begins
with "." in the attach command of Apple Mail panic'd my Mac.) I've
renamed it and attached it. It's different, but harmless to my eye.
(/usr/athena/lib/init does exist and it's contents are the same as /
usr/lib/init/)
However, I think I'm on the trail of something interesting. I *DO*
have a .cshrc.mine that does lots of stuff. I think it blew out,
because I just did "alias" and none of the aliases I've asked for
were set. That .cshrc.mine is also attached.
To try and further clarify: I did echo $shell in the Athena Ubuntu
window I've got open, and it says I'm running tcsh. But when I issue
the command "alias", none of the aliases I set in .cshrc.mine came
through.
But I don't know if any of that matters.

# If you want to ADJUST the cshell initialization sequence, create any of

# to achieve the effect listed:
#
# .environment - setup session environment (set environmental variables,
# attach lockers, etc.)
# .path - set default search path (you can refer to shell
# variable $athena_path, which lists athena default path,
# when you set path, e.g., "set path=(. $athena_path)")
# .cshrc.mine - setup cshell environment (set shell variables, aliases,
# unset system defaults, etc.)
# If you want to CHANGE the cshell initialization sequence, revise this .cshrc
# file (the one you're reading now). You may want to copy the contents of
# the system-wide cshrc file as a starting point.
#
# WARNING: If you revise this .cshrc file, you will not automatically
# get any changes that Project Athena may make to the system-wide file at
# a later date. Be sure you know what you are doing.
