This way you don't have to spend a lot of time patching/getting the csh sources or take a load of crap from sys admin or whatever. Warning - once you start using the tcsh there is no way back -): gerry PS this is what happens at cornell for example:- ftp> open 128.84.253.11 Connected to 128.84.253.11. 220 tesla FTP server (Version 4.128 Sun Feb 12 16:06:59 PST 1989) ready.
