I understand the difference between $path and $PATH, but I don't
understand what $term is. When I set my path in the C shell, $path
is set, and so is $PATH, even though I am not using the Bourne
shell. If you do 'echo $PATH' you get the same stuff as $path with
the Bourne Shell syntax. However, I set my terminal type with
'setenv TERM ...' and $TERM is set, but $term is not. What is the
difference between these two?
