> > I edited .cshrc by adding 'export BROWSER=firebird' and it didn't work. I think that in cshell and tcshell an env is set by "setenv". Like this in your case: "setenv BROWSER firebird" If I remember correctly "export" is used in bash and other shells. In all shells you can check your variables by typing "env" at the promp. Hope this helps. /Linus
