Ahh, found it.

/bin/athena/attach -Padd sipb 1>/dev/null
export PATH=/mit/sipb/bin/:$PATH
alias add="/bin/athena/attach -Padd $add_flags"
alias logout="/bin/athena/tcsh -c logout"

Whoops. 

So if interested, the story is that a while ago, I switched my athena shell
to bash and realized that my add commands were still calling setenv, instead 
of export to add paths of the added lockers. So rather than trying to fix it, 
I just tacked this on since sipb was the only locker I used frequently enough 
to make /mit/<locker>/bin/<prog> arduous.

Thanks for the help,

Kevin
