When the csh shell and its derivatives such as tcsh starts, its reads up .cshrc. The effect is somewhat the same, but it uses the syntax is for csh. The syntax for .profile is for sh. The csh shell of more likely not, tcsh, is more friendly for interacticve use than the sh shell. Those who like the sh type syntax nowdays use the derivative bash as their shell. It is also more interactive friendly than plain sh. ////jerry > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
