I  should clarify the problem I referred to:
 "mail thinks your home directory is root instead of $HOME".

What I meant was if you do a !ls at the & mail prompt it gives
the root directory.  & s file still saves to the home directory.
What seems to be happening is that !ls is run under a separate c-shell
which thinks that its home, or at least its initial directory, is root.

I have found that any csh command takes / as the default directory 
rather than the current directory.  This may be related to our general
problems with the c-shell scripts.
