i'm sorry if i've offended anybody.  i knew that my post could start  
shell or os war.
i'm new to mac os.  i had used freebsd.  but i'm not much into 
programming or shell scripting.
For freebsd, root is default to csh.  for other users i set them tcsh.
some postings in freebsd list suggest that not to change the root shell 
and environments.
basically to make user feel not easy in root shell.
i'm considering to change my default shell to tcsh, but i'm not sure if 
it has an effect to anything else.
from previous posting, i learned that jaguar default shell is tcsh,  
but it was changed to bash in panther.
i just need to know.  not to start a war.

thanks folks for the feedback,
i get valuable information from the list
it's where i got to know how do things in unix or other os
