The shell also has one. There are several ways around this little pecadillo. The simplest is rename the Aztec set command and the macro files that use it. The second simplest is take TxEd to edit csh. Search for "copy". (That's easy to find and unique.) Hit right-A-v to toggle to the overwrite mode. Then carefully overwrite the "set" in that list with SET or Set or whatever. In fact i haev done this with several of the commands that I wanted to save but not have as the defaults... The hardest is to recompile with these same renamed commands. (Note that csh is case sensitive for its internal commands!) -- <@_@> BIX:jdow INTERNET:jdow@gryphon.CTS.COM UUCP:{akgua, hplabs!hp-sdd, sdcsvax, ihnp4, nosc}!crash!gryphon!jdow Remember - A bird in the hand often leaves a sticky deposit.
