Now, IMO this would be OK if there is a workaround - but it doesn't seem to like it when I set SHELL to be 'tcsh -f'. Why can't you run gdb without going through SHELL? Do I really need to rearrange my entire environment (moving environmental variables to .login, etc) in order to use it? Or is there a workaround I'm unaware of? Ed
