Add is a script, not a program.  It is a part of the Athena cshrc
script set, which is in the xlogin package.  It gets installed into
/usr/athena/lib/init and you get 'add' from the cshrc there.  This
means that your .cshrc will have to call /usr/athena/lib/init/cshrc
which will give you the alias to call add.

'punt' is not part of zephyr.  It is a program in the consult locker:
	add consult; punt zwgc

matlab is in the matlab locker:
	add matlab; matlab

In order to get /bin/athena and /usr/athena/bin added to the path by default
all the time, you want to modify /etc/profile and /etc/csh.login.

I hope this helps.
