Hi, I believe /usr/games is part of standard PATH. /usr/bin/mh should only be added to the PATH by people who use it (multiuser environments).

PATH and other environment variables
Let me preface this by saying I might have screwed this up by myself... After installing debian-1.3, I find that the PATH is not very complete. After is quick look, it lacks the paths for games (/usr/games/) and mh programs (/usr/bin/mh/). Aren't these packages supposed to add their path to /etc/profile and /etc/csh.login ? Also, setting LS_OPTIONS to something liek --8bit --color=tty -F -T 0 would be nice. The default setup doesn't have a working colour `ls'. Also, `xterm' doesn't start because it says it can't find the proper termcap entry. rxvt starts okay. -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maurice-Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.
