Since the tex package is now a default package, you no longer need
type=tex - it's included in type=users.

>setenv PATH "$home/bin:`/bin/searchpath type=users`:$home/myX11:$home/shell"
You can also do this as
    setenv PATH $home/bin:`/bin/searchpath type=users $home/myX11 $home/shell`

To avoid this silliness with searchpath, you can use showpath instead:
    setenv PATH `/bin/showpath $home/bin standard $home/myX11 $home/shell`
