+One thing to be aware of is that your program is run via the shell
+indicated by your @code{SHELL} environment variable if it exists; or
+@code{/bin/sh} if not. This means that if you change any environment
+variables in a @file{.cshrc} or @file{.bashrc} file, the changes will
+affect your program. You may wish to move setting of environment
+variables to @file{.login} or @file{.profile}.
