Here's the normal trick I was taught back in '85. Put this at or near the top of your .cshrc file. Obviously, my .cshrc file was set up to work on multiple environments... ;-) # if non-interactive, do not set up aliases, etc., but set path. if ($?prompt == 0) then # compensate for SunOS braindamage: umask is set in login, and # the default is 0, not 022. umask 022 setenv WHICHWINDOW x # assume the most liberal PATH source ${HOME}/.setpath exit endif -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
