Thanks. After banging my head against a wall, I finally figured out that for Cygwin (Windows XP) the best way to define a new variable is to go through My Computer/properties/Environment Settings and generate a new variable and path that way. For some reason it won't define when you try to add it to the bash shell (unless I was making a simple error).
Thanks though!
Mike

Michael,

Please, read about the P2N file format:
See
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/Tutorial-1.php#3
as well as
http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/Tutorial-3.php

Here is a part of my .cshrc file:
----------------------
setenv SOFT /usr/local
setenv GAMESS_SCR /usr/local/0QM_SCR
setenv GAUSS_SCRDIR /usr/local/0QM_SCR
setenv PCGAMESS_SCRDIR /usr/local/0QM_SCR setenv AMBERHOME /usr/local/amber10
setenv g03root /usr/local
source /usr/local/g03/bsd/g03.login
set path = ($path $SOFT/bin $SOFT/g03 $SOFT/gamess $SOFT/pcgamess
$AMBERHOME/exe)
