Display type:		PMAG-DV 

What were you trying to do?

  Run willow, via `add library; library'.

What happened?
  
  This got echo'd to the shell where I ran `library'

    bindkey: Command not found.
    ": Event not found.
    
  I got the dash error box saying that willow had exited with status
  1.

What is wrong?

  This is:

    ; head -1 /mit/library/bin/willow
    #! /bin/csh

What should it be?

    #!/bin/csh -f

  There's no reason to slurp in the user's dotfiles; it can only cause
  trouble and delay.  

Anything else you'd like to add?

  I guess people with nonstandard dotfiles don't use library much; the
  error came from the tcsh that's misnamed `/bin/csh'.  I have no
  .cshrc; the error came from my .tcshrc, which should not be
  connected to /bin/csh.
