It goes into the variable just fine, but when EXINIT is expanded in the second setenv, the newline gets expanded in with it...and csh is stupid about things like newlines without '\'s before them. Even if you place extra '\' within the first setenv, it STILL won't work. Csh loses over sh on things like this. Sigh. -andy
