There is a file /u4/pvi/wave/bin/wvsetup that will define all the environment variable for you. At the UNIX prompt type csh> source /u4/pvi/wave/bin/wvsetup and then... csh> wave You should maybe put the "source" line in your .login file, or add the following to your .cshrc file alias WAVE "source /u4/pvi/wave/bin/wvsetup" Then you would need only type csh> WAVE csh> wave to get things going.

There is a file : /u4/pvi/wave/bin/wvsetup : that will define all the environment variable for you. At the UNIX prompt : type : csh> source /u4/pvi/wave/bin/wvsetup ... etc ... Note that this is for the c-shell only... If you're using the Bourne or Korn shells the procedure is similar, but the file is wvsetup.sh, and should be run in the current shell (not as a subshell) by typing . <pathname>/wvsetup.sh You can, of course, extract the necessary commands to set the env. variables from the file and transplant them to your .profile script, but whatever way, if you've got it right then typing "wave" (or "waveadv" if you've got the new beefed up version) should set you going with no problems.
