Hmm..  I believe that "which" is typically a c-shell script. At
least it is on our system (Solaris 2.4).  But it is also a builtin for
tcsh, zsh, (and probably bash, but I'm not sure).  It is not limited
to derivatives of csh.  You may also have a similar builtin called
"whence" which is what ksh uses.
