I see. Do I lose anything by not copying this to a ~/.afnirc . All our paths, environment variables are setup in our .cshrc files. What is the advantage of also including the .afnirc file? In the help documentation it describes how the .cshrc takes precedence over the .afnirc file.

Could we also setup the SUMA environment variables in the .cshrc? Would that work? We prefer to keep everything consolidated in one file (i.e., the .cshrc file).
