I knew about the export vs. setenv, but I didn't know about leaving off the env. (Especially since env exists in bash and does a similar job to env in tcsh when used without a following command.) Without the env works. Thanks. Dave -- David Reiser [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
