If you are in a CLI, and do a newcli, the child CLI will have a copy of the parents. Simple, right ? Then there's workbench. When Workbench fires up via LoadWB, it snapshots the paths in effect in that shell. This is the paths that get copied when starting a shell from workbench, ie from the CLI icon, or from tools like PopCLI. andy -- andy finkel {uunet|rutgers|amiga}!cbmvax!andy Commodore-Amiga, Inc.
