SYNOPSIS
     which [name] ...

DESCRIPTION

     cuted had these names been given as commands.  Each argument is expanded

     and path are taken from the user's .cshrc file.

FILES
     ~/.cshrc  source of aliases and path values

DIAGNOSTICS

     word, or if an executable file with the argument name was not found in
     the path.

BUGS

     output will be correct.  The output of which may be incorrect for any us-
     er not using csh(1) or tcsh(1) as their shell.
