um, I beg to differ..... using tcsh:

mcmahill@ampere 30 # cascade
cascade: Command not found.
mcmahill@ampere 31 # pkg_add
/usr/pkgsrc/packages/netbsd-1.4.2/mipsel/All/cascade-1.3.0.tgz 
mcmahill@ampere 32 # cascade
cascade: Command not found.
mcmahill@ampere 33 # rehash
mcmahill@ampere 34 # cascade

USAGE:  /usr/pkg/bin/cascade  [--copyright] [--help] [--version]
        /usr/pkg/bin/cascade  infilename


maybe some shells don't need 'rehash', but the ones I use do.
