One possibility, of course, is "nothing", because he's using the standard
shell and getting the path requires "echo $PATH" instead.  Just a hint for
future reference:  not everyone uses csh, so such a request should always
be prefaced with "what shell are you using?".  (Apologies if this was clear
from earlier context, I came in in the middle of this topic.)  It's really
very annoying to find companies whose software, documentation, or support
has a deeply-imbedded assumption that everyone agrees with their preference
on which shell to use.  Tain't so.
