#49 Terminal now tries to install ncftp every time.
I hope this is the correct place to get help with this problem...
I installed fink, then immediately installed finkcommander. I used it to install ncftp by first selecting the ncftp item in the list, then I clicked on the 'run install command in terminal' icon.
It installed fine, and works great.
The problem is that now every time I launch terminal or open a new terminal window, the command '/sw/bin/fink install ncftp' is executed. I don't have a .tchsrc or .cshrc in my ~ directory.
Your assistance would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Gary

This happens whenever you open the "Window Settings" panel
for a Terminal window that was opened to run a specific
command and then click the "Use Settings As Default" button.
The same thing would occur if, for example, you clicked
that button for a Terminal window opened by BBEdit's "Run in
Terminal" command.
To fix this, terminate the offending fink or apt-get
process, enter the following command in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.Terminal ExecutionString ""
If you can't get access to a functional Terminal window,
then open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist in
any text editor and delete the text between the
<string></string> tags under the <key>ExecutionString</key>
entry.

I think I'll have a warning dialog pop up the first time a
user runs a command in terminal to warn about this.

I don't think a warning dialog is in place. It's not
FinkCommander's concern when a user chooses 'Use Settings as
Defaults' in the Terminal. If any application should warn,
it'd the Terminal. Don't you agree?
