the command "chsh" will open vi on your profile file thing (to use the
technical term) where you can change the shell...

if you just want to run bash once or twice, just type "bash" on the command
line...

you might also want to try "tcsh" as a replacement for csh, I've heard say
changing root's shell to bash is a bad thing (but have done it myself
anyway).
