Can someone tell me whether cdpath works on a PI with Irix 3.3.2?
I've tried the textbook methods and played around with every combination
of set and setenv imaginable, without success.
A number of other csh features, like filename completion, also don't
seem to work as described in the manual (I've set filec). Can anyone
enlighten me on these points?

cdpath works on a PI with IRIX 3.3.1.
suppose you do:
set cdpath = $HOME
and your home directory contains the directories "private" and
"public", then you should in theory be able to do "cd privaet"
or "cd public" regardless of in which directory you are. The
directory defined in cdpath, however, you cannot cd to, because
cdpath defines the directories that are searched when you do cd.
My own cdpathlooks like:
set cdpath = (.. $HOME/{,public,private/{,cu,div,docs,test}})
.. is very useful to have in your cdpath. I guess one could also
have ../..
