what should I put in which .file to not have to type export

If you watched the execution of pathsetup.sh carefully, you saw that it
mentioned in which file it wrote. You would use the same. My guess,
based on the file list you gave, is that it is ~/.bash_profile if you
haven't moved it away. Explanation from "man bash":
When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell,[..] it first
reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that
file exists. After reading that file, it looks for
~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile,
in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one
that exists and is readable.
So the origin of your problem is probably that you created the file
~/.bash_profile which hadn't existed before, and this new file
"shadowed" the existing file ~/.profile which contained the command to
activate your Fink environment.
