Fw: problem with ls and similar commands in tcsh

[mike parks]

Igor,

thanks for explaining the 'shift' keys.    :)

> Does 'echo temp*' work?
    'echo temp*' returns 
        temp*

> Compare the environments in bash and tcsh.  Did you try setting CYGWIN?
    i set CYGWIN in /etc/profile and the control panel to
        export CYGWIN="check_case:adjust nostrip_title"
        CYGWIN check_case:adjust nostrip_title
    
    respectively. i still have the same bizarre behavior.

> It also seems that the wildcard is not expanded by tcsh (if it were, your

    'which tcsh' returns
        /usr/bin/tcsh

    oops! i did not see the space. 'cmd /c "dir temp*"' works

thanks
mike
