misleading error message

Hi,

I find the following error message of scsh not very informative, as I
could not figure out, what the problem was:

[andreas@hgt andreas]$ export SCSH_LIB_DIRS=/home/andreas/bin/lib/scsh/modules
[andreas@hgt andreas]$ scsh -lel sunet-2.1 -o handle-fatal-error -e '1'

Error: Illegal path element in $SCSH_LIB_DIRS
       "/home/andreas/bin/lib/scsh/modules"
       /home/andreas/bin/lib/scsh/modules

I'd find the following error message better:

Illegal path element in $SCSH_LIB_DIRS: not a string or #f.

or:

Not a string or #f in $SCSH_LIB_DIRS.

What do you think?

Andreas.
