A quick check of "man tcsh" finds: "A login shell begins by executing commands from the system files /etc/csh.cshrc and /etc/csh.login. ... Non-login shells read only /etc/csh.cshrc and ~/.tcshrc or ~/.cshrc on startup." I'm not a tcsh user but it looks like /etc/csh.cshrc may be what you're looking for -- Rod A computer without Windows is like a fish without a bicycle.
