Actually, you said that exactly backwards (though the rest of your
text shows that you know what's really going on).
Csh automagically exports the variables ``path'' and ``term'' (doing
the appropriate translations). What I've never quite been able to
figure out is why it does path=>PATH and term=>TERM but not PATH=>path
and TERM=>term... (after startup that is).
