Yes it does, if your csh supports

	set hardpaths

I know SunOS has it. Don't know who originated it.
		==========================
Someone really ought to post a once a month article with an expiration
date a month away answering all of these questions that keep showing up
every other month...

Anyone who can dedicate a little time and effort can do this. Maybe it
wouldn't give every *possible* variation (i.e. shell prompts, undoing rm)
but it could keep those same questions from popping up every so often,
spuring on those dozens of follow-on articles that seem to clog the
wizard/question newsgroups.

With the same Subject line in the regular postings, the regular
readers could Kill that subject automatically, making everyone's life
easier.
