I realized a while ago that this is horribly wrong. Not only does . come
at the END of the path on the Zoo, making the final space inappropriate,
but in this context, . matches *any* character. :)
A better solution, in this particular case, is
set path = (`echo $path | sed 's/ \.$//'`)
You get the idea...
