I have just a brief comment here.  It's more efficient to specify the
modules in one load command like this:

   module load openwin gnutools man

especially if they require additions to the PATH.  Whenever an element
is added to a user's path, a rehash is needed which can take a
significant amount of time if the paths are long.
