Thank you Taylor.
Your suggestion worked. I had to make two changes though.
1. unset the env parameter CSCOPE_DB
2. Add an extra condition to handle the non-existing CSCOPE_DB env as
elseif $CSCOPE_DB = ""
cs add /my/path/cscope.out my/prepend/path
endif
For some reason if the CSCOPE_DB env is set the prepend path stuff does not
work.
Thanks,
Natesh

I'm not sure about Vim 6.3 - but in Vim 7.0 you can pass another
argument to ":cscope add" which sets the prepend path. So for example:
:cscope add /path/to/database/cscope.out /home/username
This sets /home/username as the prepend path, as if you had done -P on
the command line.
(Upon further inspection, I don't see anything in version7.txt about
this being new in Vim 7.0 so it should work (I would imagine) in the
version of Vim you're running.)
