Exercise: What is the result of the two commands
set PATH; echo $PATH unset PATH; echo $PATH
Try to guess, first for tcsh, then for bash.
The result of this is that /sw/bin/init.csh behaves weird when a user has the crazy idea to set the *shell variable* PATH before calling "source /sw/bin/init.csh".
I suggest to put a line
unset PATH
at the beginning of this script to avoid these strange problems.
I suspect that similar problems would appear for MANPATH and CLASSPATH, but who cares about these. :-)
