Answer 1

Sounds like maybe there is a broken shell initialization script
Terminal -> Shell -> New Command... ->
copy and paste this command into the new command dialog box and look at the results
/bin/ls -l .bash_profile .bash_login .profile .bashrc
You may get output such as:
-ls: .bash_login: No such file or directory
-ls: .profile: No such file or directory
-rw-r--r--  1 raharris  staff  31561 Sep  5 18:13 .bash_profile
-rw-r--r--  1 raharris  staff  58026 Nov 17 11:39 .bashrc
If all 4 files come up No Such File or Directory, it is not a bad shell initialization file
If you do have one of these files, such as my example .bash_profile, then you need to move it out of the way
Terminal -> Shell -> New Command... ->
copy and paste one of the following commands into the new command dialog box to move the selected shell initialization script out of the way
/bin/rm .bash_profile saved.bash_profile
/bin/rm .bash_login saved.bash_login
/bin/rm .profile saved.profile
/bin/rm .bashrc saved.bashrc
repeat for each script was found the above 'ls' command
