ok, this one is dumb - and more of a pet peeve thing.  but i've grown fond
of defining your path's ala:

# from ~/.cshrc
set path = ( ~/bin /bin /sbin\
/usr/{bin,sbin,X11R6/bin,local/bin,local/sbin,games} .)

not sure why, but on most linux type os's i've used they do not seem to
define path's in this way by default...
