'people' would include myself also. The embedding business is pretty much
tried-and-failed for me. I'd be truely grateful if some tcsh wizard out there

Unfortunate switching to bash is not an option at work for me, especially when
I introduce hg to the department in the near future. Besides, there'are few, if
any at all, people around here realize the existance of bash.
