1. Send mail only to daip at nrao.edu.  aipsmail at nrao.edu is a synonym.

2. The file name is LOGIN.CSH suggesting that your source command as 
reported above anyway did not work.  (There should have been an error 
message like file not found.)

3. The aips tv=local command partially worked you say but not 
everything.  You must send me all the messages (exactly - use drag and 
drop if possible) that come out when you do this command.  I can then 
help you debug the TV issue.  Note that the TV and TEK windows come up 
in icon form.

4. The 2nd attempt above is very odd - di you cd to $SYSUNIX first?
The START_AIPS command that you should be executing is in the AIPS 
directory (where LOGIN.CSH is).  The copy in $SYSUNIX does not have 
execute privilege and has not been modified for your $AIPS_ROOT.
