If you want to set this variable for each login of yours, you should probably play around with your /etc/login.conf or your ~/.login_conf files, and add the variable in the :setenv=...: capability. Please do remember to call cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf after you're done editing, though ;) Alternatively, you could set this variable in /etc/csh.cshrc (if you're using /bin/csh as your shell) or /etc/profile (for /bin/sh, bash, etc). -- Giorgos Keramidas, <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr> "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."
