Sounds like your friend is spot on - you are confused!!

The file you should be looking for is .bashrc.  When you open a terminal window
run 'ls -a' so see ALL thfe files (including hidden ones) and then run your
favourite editor to change the settings in .bashrc (ie. vim .bashrc or emacs
.bashrc).  Should do the trick.

(Note: I'm assuming here that there's a .bashrc in your home directory under OS
X.  Maybe you should google '.bashrc OS X' and see what happens.)
