These are probably faq's but here goes: is there a simple way to have the csh prompt that "You have mail", when you login (I don't mean biff y) I tried writing a ksh script that copied the .profile file but it didn't seem to work. also I just updated to 3.5/2006 and it says that i am supposed to change line 54 of /usr/bin/info from xrdb to xmodma, but a grep on /usr/bin/info shows no occurances of xrdb? Thanks, please respond via mail.

In the user's ".cshrc" file: set mail = (/usr/spool/mail/$USER) In the user's ".login" file: if !(-z $mail) then echo You have new mail endif -- Bob Shair shair@chgvmic1.vnet.ibm.com Scientific Computing Specialist SHAIR@UIUCVMD (bitnet) IBM Champaign
