When I dial-in or telnet into my workstation, tcsh runs fine.  When I
sit down it front of it,

	hosttype: Undefined variable.
	>

It turns out that tcsh IS running (chsh reports "Current shell for
jsolof is /afs/sipb/project/tcsh/tcsh."), but it's choking on the prompt
line in .cshrc.mine (set prompt = "%S[%t] [%~]%s %m% ").  Again, when I
dialed/telnetted in, it worked fine.  And when I issue the "set prompt"
command manually, it works fine.  Somehow, hosttype isn't getting
defined early enough in the Xlogin process.  Any idea what's going on?

BUT, it's still not printing to my laserwriter!  I've restarted lpd,
rebooted the workstation, restarted the printer, nothing...

If there's any info I can provide which would be helpful in making a
diagnosis, lemme know.

Help!  (thanks!)

Jeff
