I did want to comment about the 'mystery' of the Apple file systems. It is true that unlike other Unix systems, the Apple OS X file system is (by default anyway) case insensitive. However, as you have noticed, files and directories do have a preferred spelling that recognizes the case. It is the spelling that they were first created with. So although you can refer to the 'Applications' directory as 'applications' its "real" name is 'Applications'. It takes a little while to get used to especially if you are importing directory trees from other Unix file systems. A gotcha that we experienced when first working with OS X was that we had a few places where there were files in the same directory that differed only in their case. That can totally screw things up.</div><div> -dave</div><div><br></div><div><div><div>On Feb 25, 2011, at 4:26 PM, Joseph Cain wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div>Joe-Mac-1008:~] josephcain% echo $path</div><div>/usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/texbin /usr/X11/bin /applications/ncl_ncarg-5.2.1.MacOS_10.6_i386_64bit_nodap_gcc421/bin</div><div>[Joe-Mac-1008:~] josephcain% ng4ex gsun01n</div><div><br></div><div>NCAR Graphics NCL Example <gsun01n></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>This example was set up to display the output to an</div><div>X11 window.</div><div><br></div><div> Copying gsun01n.ncl</div><div><br></div><div>Running NCL...</div><div> Copyright (C) 1995-2010 - All Rights Reserved</div><div> University Corporation for Atmospheric Research</div><div> NCAR Command Language Version 5.2.1</div><div> The use of this software is governed by a License Agreement.</div><div> See <a href="http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/">http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/</a> for more details.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div><br></div><br><div><div>On Feb 25, 2011, at 2:04 PM, Joseph Cain wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#CC5D87"><b>1.
