If you're using tcsh, and you don't want to sit and read the man file on how to do everything under the sun w/ tcsh, I recommend installing dotfile (in the ports - /usr/ports/misc/dotfile). It has configuration scripts for setting all kinds of things for tcsh and in addition procmail, elm, emacs, fvwm, ipfwadm etc. ********************************************************* Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/ But Master, does not the fire need water too?
