Hi Ed,
I have no clue about FSL 4, but since your challenges seem to be
generic...

Well you can choose the shell you want to use, to find out which
shell you run you can try the following (well best is to look up the
operating system default, but since I do not know which distribution
you use, I will get inventive). Option
"echo $0", this will return the name of the currently running shell,
most likely your default.
Now, most Linuxes use bash as default, so do the following in your
home directory (leave out the comments after the #'s):
# this takes care of login shells (>> concatenates)
touch ~/.profile # this will create the file
chmod u=rwx ~/.profile # make this file executeable
echo "if [ -e ~/.bashrc ]; then" >> ~/.profile
echo " . ~/.bashrc # source the .bashrc, this way you only have to
configure one file..." >> ~/.profile
echo "fi" >> ~/.profile
echo "" >> ~/.profile
# and now the .bashrc
touch ~/.bashrc # this will create the file
chmod u=rwx ~/.bashrc # make this file executeable
echo "FSLDIR=/home/fsl/fsl" >> ~/.bashrc
echo ". ${FSLDIR}/etc/fslconf/fsl.sh" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "PATH=${FSLDIR}/bin:${PATH}" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export FSLDIR PATH" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "" >> ~/.bashrc

Erm, take this out of /home/fsl/fsl/etc/fslconf/fsl.sh then, as that
does not seem the proper place for shell configuration ;)

No, only for your default login shell, as any shell you start from
there will inherit the environment variables defined in the parent
shell...
Then again, I have zero clue about FSL4, so I could be way off here,
a grain of salt might be taken along these hints...
