Hi.
I notice /usr/athena/lib/init/cshrc uses "athena_manpath" as
the the variable to hold a colon-seperated default MANPATH. Seems
like this is confusing, since athena_path mirrors path, not PATH.
I would have presumed athena_manpath to be an array, but it's really
colon-seperated.
Would it be reasonable to rename it to ATHENA_MANPATH and leave
athena_manpath around for a few releases for backward compatibility?
