I deleted /usr/local/bin/tcsh from /etc/shells and reinstalled it as a port, and it at least did not do it; but I have added a note to 2. (above) that the port might do this step for you. Thanks. Actually I'm sort of glad the tcsh port doesn't do it, because part of the purpose is to get across the separate pieces of this thing. Annelise P.S. Since the original poster is still being cc'd here, once source of help/ideas on shell scripting is the newsgroup comp.unix.shells.
