Path
Hi,
to execut any script I should type complete path of the script :
$/dev1/firstdir/seconddir/myscript.sh
Or I should add this complete PATH to $PATH.
how can I become free of this ?
many thanks.

Will not recommend to add the path in $PATH.
But Yeah if you scripts are lying in this area then whenever you login you can set your path variable by adding this path in $PATH.
Once the path where in your binary or script lies is set. you can run the program easily if you have execute permissions.

doing 'man csh' yields the following - notice there's no '=':
Code:
setenv  [VAR  [word ] ]
               With no arguments, setenv  displays  all  environ-
               ment  variables.  With  the  VAR  argument, setenv
               sets the environment  variable  VAR   to  have  an
               empty  (null)  value.  (By convention, environment
               variables are normally  given  upper-case  names.)
               With  both  VAR   and word arguments, setenv  sets
               the environment variable NAME to the  value  word,
               which  must  be  either  a single word or a quoted
               string. The most commonly used  environment  vari-
               ables,  USER,  TERM,  and  PATH, are automatically
               imported to and exported from the  csh   variables
               user,  term,  and  path;  there  is no need to use
               setenv  for these. In addition, the shell sets the
               PWD  environment  variable  from the csh  variable
               cwd whenever the latter changes.

Also, pls don't post on multiple already existing threads - read the rules
