Here is a problem I noticed while playing around with csh (SUN/OS).

Try typing `-` (including the back-quotes) at the prompt:

    %`-`
    -: Command not found
    /usr/games/: Permission denied
    %

I can understand the first line of the error message but what about the
second? Further, on different systems (in the network), it tries to execute
different files and comes up with the "Permission denied" message.

Any explanation?
