tcsh inheriting path from windows

tcsh inheriting path from windows

[Marc Schafer]

I can't get tcsh to correctly inherit my path from windows.  The spaces 
in things like "Program Files" get turned in :'s  If I use bash instead, 
then everything works fine.

I read many of the threads on the mailing list and people seem to 
suggest that you have to remove these from your path or set them 
manually in your .tcsh.

Is there any way to make this work correctly?  Why does it work under 
bash and not tcsh?

thanks,
marc

tcsh is not bash.  Try

  set path = ( $NEW_PATH:q $path:q )

The ":q" is the secret.
