Correct: according to the manual `:' modifiers don't work on environment
variables.

\% echo ${SHELL:t}
\Variable syntax.

Correct too: the string "SHELL:t" doesn't have the form of an environment
variable, namely "[_a-zA-Z][_a-zA-Z0-9]*".

\% ls
\/bin/cshls: Command not found

How's that famous record by Johnny Ray again? "Crying", wasn't it?
Anyway, you get the idea.
