7.3 Setting up your UNIX environment

You can add the bin directory to your PATH environment variable, and the man to your MANPATH environment variable, with the scripts in the env directory.

Take the one written in the shell you use, and add it to the end of your shell startup script. For example, if you use the C shell, append the contents of cshenv to your .cshrc.

MLWorks provides a GNU Emacs editor server which requires that the MLWORKS_SERVER_FILE environment variable is set, so that MLWorks can create a file-based socket for communication with Emacs. The latter variable defaults to

/tmp/.$USER-mlworks-server

This means that the default value requires also that you have the USER environment variable set.
