I am using rc as a login shell (flag -l), and my $path variable is: /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin /usr/X11R6/bin /opt/bin /home/carlos/bin /usr/bin/mh /usr/local/bin/mh Rc seems not to be able to find any commands in the last path token, i.e. /usr/local/bin/mh in this case. Whatever I put last, commands in it are not found (command not found message). As a work-around I have now set a bogus last token, i.e.: /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin /usr/X11R6/bin /opt/bin /home/carlos/bin /usr/bin/mh /usr/local/bin/mh /end-of-path and it works fine, in that commands in /usr/local/bin/mh are now found correctly. Sounds like a bug to me :-) bye -carlo -- I can read MIME or uuencoded e-mail attachments in PDF, Postscript, HTML, RTF or text formats. Please do not send Word or Excel files.
