Try PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin export PATH You might also want to change your shell to something less squirmily haveanicedayish than tcsh. chsh is the command to do the change; bash is pretty reasonable though my fave back when I was using Unix a lot was ksh (which just does what you tell it without trying to get creative). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack> * food intolerance data & recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files, and my CD-ROM "Embro, Embro". ------> off-list mail to "j-c" rather than "abc" at this site, please <------ To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
