Could you explain the difference between set and setenv? The differenc is, that 'set' is for shell variables (in scope of current shell) and 'setenv' is for environment variables. If you use 'set' and then try to print the value from forked shell script, it will be empty. If you use 'setenv', the shell script will print the value. See 'man tcsh' (if you are using tcsh as your login shell) Miroslav Lachman
