Based upon the description in your original post (http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2004-04/msg00072.html), I was under the impression that you had merely inserted an unconditional 'exec zsh' at the bottom of your .tcshrc; so, of course, when I did my own testing (using that assumption), zsh was _always_ run, no matter how tcsh was invoked. With this new information, I should be able to proceed with my modifications to _AS_RUN. -- ES
