In Panther, I suppose. In 10.2.6, using my default shell, I get:

echo $SHELL
/bin/tcsh

Yes, but that's not the point. Doug was referring to "do shell script", which always uses sh(1) and pays no attention to your SHELL setting. [1] See <http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html#Section1> for details.

[1] At least I think he was. The "no longer" is confusing, since "do shell script" has *never* used (t)csh. It's like the Mad Hatter asking Alice if she'd like some more tea.
