OK now.
It looks like you've still not managed to produce a valid .xinitrc,
as your first attempt with TextEdit will have produced a file with
Macintosh line endings rather than unix, and then there were problems
with the plumbing on the above.
I have two different suggestions:
i) use an editor application that's line end aware, examples
here are textwrangler and alphax (ask google about either, then
download and install). Save your .xinitrc as having unix line ends.
ii) use a simple editor such as pico from the command line to
type in the commands that you wanted, then save the file.
Wish I knew what all those ?.&>~$/'s are!
/sw/bin/startkde >/tmp/kde.log 2>&1
-------------
pipe standard output (&1) from startkde into file /tmp/kde.log
----
pipe standard error (&2) to same place as stdout
