In what currency does one pay the Chile $100 entry fee? U.S. Dollars
or Chilean pesos? (this is for Americans entering by plane.) And
does one pay it in cash, or can one use a credit card?

Well! If only I'd read before I wrote. Fodor's Guide to Chile 2006
states:
"The good news is that in addition to cash, credit cards are also
accepted."
So that also takes care of worrying about hauling wads of pesos from
N. America.

What amazes me is that arriving passengers have to pay $100.
Does this only apply to Americans? or everybody?

Just Americans. It's because Chileans have to pay $100 for a US visa.
Brazil does approximately the same thing, with a special high priced
visa for Americans.

Thanks. A sort of 'touche' arrangement!
As a Brit I've never had to pay to enter Brazil, just to leave!
