Ah, that shows up fine now.

So doing % $VARNAME at the command line isn't the "right" way of checking a variable?

Apologies for not being clearer.
I was referring to the "Command not found" which seems to be _in_ the $PATH variable. Should that be there in the first place?

Wanted to do some tinkering with some programs I wrote, so decided to put it in my $PATH.
However, before I did that, I did $PATH & got this -

Investigating this a while ago, IIRC, there's a bug in init.csh which I found by stepping through. Sorry I can't be more specific as it was ages ago. If no-one has an immediate solution, then I'll dig out what I did exactly & let you know.
TIA!
