Man page for tcsh says that ~/.cshrc will only be sourced if ~/.tcshrc doesn't exist. Also, ~/.login may be sourced first, depending. Most people want login and non-login shells to have the same behavior, so typically they have a non-existent .login and put all their stuff in ~/.bashrc . > I have gone through init and, I think, all scripts that are > executed at start up, I have not been able to find a place where > my personal .cshrc is invoked or could be invoked. It's invoked at shell startup. "man tcsh" for the gory details. That has more info than most people need :-) > I have also noticed that my vi editor is behaving strangely.
