The '0: Event not found' message almost looks like an X window DISPLAY
setup problem.

I really don't understand the 'Couldn't find 'echo' command' message.  On
our IRIX 6.5 systems, a 'which echo' gives '/usr/bin/echo'.

This is the same message as above.  What happens when you 'source .cshrc'?

>Any suggestions as to what might be wrong?

I suspect that something is amiss in your .cshrc file, but what it could be
is not jumping to mind right now.  What is in /usr/freeware/bin?  What
happens if you remove this from your PATH?

By the way, I would set 'umask 002' in your .cshrc file like you did in
.mcenv.

Outside of not knowing what is in /usr/freeware/bin and not having 'umask 002'
set, this looks reasonable.

Not that this would cause the problem you are reporting, but the settings
for MCTABLE_READ and MCTABLE_WRITE in .mcenv below are incorrect:

>umask 002
>MCDATA=/disk4/usr2/mcidas/workdata
>MCPATH=${MCDATA}:/disk4/usr2/mcidas/data:/disk4/usr2/mcidas/help
>MCGUI=/disk4/usr2/mcidas/bin
>MCTABLE_READ="/disk4/usr2/mcidas/data/MCTABLE.TXT"
>MCTABLE_WRITE="/disk4/usr2/mcidas/data/MCTABLE.TXT"
>PATH=${MCGUI}:
>export MCDATA MCPATH MCGUI MCTABLE_READ MCTABLE_WRITE PATH
>cd $MCDATA

They should be:

MCTABLE_READ="/disk4/usr2/mcidas/mcidas/data/MCTABLE.TXT"
MCTABLE_WRITE="/disk4/usr2/mcidas/mcidas/data/MCTABLE.TXT"

I am assuming here that the home directory for 'mcida' is /disk4/usr2/mcidas.

Would it be possible to get the 'mcidas' logon to your machine so I could
poke around at your problem?  Just looking at the output for .cshrc and
.mcenv is not causing anything to jump to mind.
