OK, all you shell experts out there, here's the question of
the day for y'all.

The C-shell runs a script called $home/.logout when you tell
it to log you out.  Is there any way to get the Bourne shell
to do something similar?

What we have is a situation where a lot of users need to run
one of several commands when they logout, and for C-shell users,
it's easy.  We have a small coterie of Bourne-shell users who
want to have the same "automatically run .foo on logout" that
the C-shell users use.  

I'd hate to have to tell them to use the C-shell; they'd just
have to unlearn it all when we get a K-shell.  {:-}
