I've taken the path(s) completely out of .login, .cshrc, /etc/csh.login,
/etc/csh.cshrc, and, .profile & /etc/profile (just in case I've missed
some change that made csh read .profile) and it's still there.  Only on
my current machines, not on my 2.1.5, 2.1.6, or 2.2SNAP machines. 

Format and start over ??  :)
