System name:		biohazard-cafe.mit.edu
Type and version:	Sun-Fire-280R 9.2.27 (with mkserv)
Display type:		unknown

Shell:			/bin/athena/bash
Window manager:		unknown

What were you trying to do?
	Run the which script. For example, "which test"

What's wrong:
	Script fails with the error: "OSTYPE: Undefined variable"
	The script runs fine under tcsh, but fails when invoked under any
	other shell, including sh, csh, and bash. A workaround is to invoke it
	using tcsh, ie: "tcsh which test"

What should have happened:
	It should have given the path to test

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	man which
