How to identify logged in kernel and to change it too

Hi,

I am a user, do have root if needed via sudo. We are using Solaris.

In my home directory, i have only one file ending with "rc" in it, "local.cshrc." I am guessing this is c shell kernel config file.

Can I confirm that shell i am logged into is cshell ? How to set up so that i can use another shell, such as Bourne shell ?

Thank you for any input.
