I use terminal to ssh into my box at work. Don't know what happened, but I've somehow managed to save this remote login string as the default command, so that whenever I start terminal or open a new window, it executes the remote login...putting it simply, Terminal has been rendered useless.

HELP!!! Any ideas what I did, and how to fix it?

Trash your Terminal.app preferences.

Something probably opened a terminal window with that command. While on that window, you adjusted some window settings and clicked "Save as default" or whatever it is. That made the command the default run-on-launch command, and you became screwed.
