Watch out with tcsh for Apple's default startup file in /etc/cshrc where I might have spelled it wrong.

The default, last time I looked, would simply wipe out the $PATH variable defined in environment.plist. Yes. I have complained. But long ago I deleted the

setenv PATH /bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin

line that was there ab initio. It totally ignores anything set previously.
