The file is environment.plist
You will need to create $HOME/.MacOSX if it's not there.
Apple has an app note with a sample plist file. Ask if you'd like a copy of mine which does not set up X11.
The file is little more than an XML version of a name : value dictionary. It's not like an rc file though and things like $HOME will not get evaluated as it is read. You can't add a directory to the default $PATH.
The file is read at login to aqua time. It won't do any good to modify it after a login and expect it to apply to a newly launched application.
