You can edit the ~/home/yournamegoeshere/.bashrc to put variables into
it or modify - but you'll have to logout and login again to make sure
they're working properly...

Hi,

I don't use any of these shells, so I don't remember the exact details,
but if I'm not mistaken, tcsh reads both ~/.cshrc and ~/.tcshrc. So if
you want to have this variable for both shells, put
setenv JAVA_HOME whatever
In ~/.cshrc. If this file doesn't exist, just create it. Of course, if
you are a sysadmin on this machine you might want to set it for all
users in (something like) /etc/cshrc. Anyway, all the details about
these files should be in
man tcshrc

HTH
Moshe

 Thanks,
 
 Yes as in tsch shell, I see no ~/.cshrc at all. I am trying to set up
 some xml/java stuff and need to set JAVA_HOME

  Hi,
  
  If you really mean *C* shell (csh) then it should probably 
 go into the
  ~/.cshrc file. You do something like:
  
  setenv PATH your path:$PATH
  
  Note that the order of the directories is important, the 
 program found
  in the first of them is the one taken. Which mean that if I have
  /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/bin in my path and I add 
 /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01 it will only read the first entry??
 
 
 Thanks
