I don't know anything % about tcsh. tcsh builds a hash of all commands so that it can search quickly. Fortunately, it's clever enough to see when a file disappears and to then look for another version farther down the path, but it won't find a new program unless you type "rehash" to rebuild it (or source your .cshrc, which has all sorts of other problems but people love to do it anyway). I can only figure that bash doesn't have such a hash table. Given a path setting of $PATH without executable 'x' in it, can you drop 'x' into place and just run it or do you have to tell bash something like PATH=$PATH (which I seem to recall having had to do under UNIX with 2.05a in such a situation, but I could be wrong) to get it to take a look again?
