Thanks to Glenn and everyone else for the help. I received to many
replies to thanks everyone individually, so this is a group THANKS.
It seems I'm the only one who has been using UNIX for several years
and didn't realize that the .cshrc file is run *every* time a shell 
script is run. Ideas for the printer off are covered in FAQ.

Thanks again,
Charlie
