If a directory does not exist, csh tries searching its `cdpath', then tries evaluating the name as a variable! (I generally use pushd and popd to store directory names; `mark' is more useful with commands that need to look in two different paths, and here `$here' is necessary anyway. Ah well.) -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 7690) UUCP: seismo!mimsy!chris ARPA/CSNet: chris@mimsy.umd.edu
