Urph - I copy the Same Old .cshrc file from one system to another.  Last
night I noticed that the /.cshrc file (for root) had the line

set path=(/bin /usr/bin /etc /usr/local/bin /usr/games $home/bin)

Which is the path I've used for several years.  What's going to happen to
when I finally have the (mis)fortune to work on one of these network
machines?

- John.
