I am having a puzzling problem w/ the tcsh shell locating a script that 
I think it should be finding:


[wam at devbox, TEST, 9:18:10am] 1399 % which beginbg
beginbg: Command not found.

i.e. the file 'beginbg' ( a shell script) appears in the file ~/bin 
(/home/wam/bin) which is in the search path, yet the shell doesn't find 
it .... Pilot error ? TIA for any clues & have a good one.
