    Well, yes; but "he who?" If you read carefully the message
    below, you see that I was replying to Arek Czereszewski (hope
    I spelled that correctly) who stated that "Command set
    VARIABLE work in t/csh".

    I was simply noting the truth that in csh/tcsh, you have
    to "setenv" ... as you see from the example, "set" doesn't
    work here (in tcsh)... :-)
