How about this to go after the existing section 3 in the Quick Start: ---- After doing this, check whether you have a file called .tcshrc in your home directory using
ls -a ~/.tcshrc If you do, then you'll want to open it using "pico .tcshrc". Add the following line to it: source ~/.cshrc and then hit return. Then exit pico with control-O, return, control-X ---- Then, in the users guide, I'll go into more detail about why to do this (along the lines of what's in the FAQ).
