On a stable system with no new executables being installed, this is generally reasonable behaviour. You can turn off this behaviour by using the builtin command "unhash", which you can stick in your ~/.cshrc or ~/.tcshrc if you like. -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287088 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 RFC822 jan.grant@bris.ac.uk HP-unix: Open Sauce product, available in 57 distributions.
