An example .cshrc file (very old)
#
# Default user .cshrc file (/bin/csh initialization).
# Usage: Copy this file to a user's home directory and edit it to
# customize it to taste. It is run by csh each time it starts up.
# Set up default command search path:
#
# (For security, this default is a minimal set.)
set path=( /bin /usr/bin )
# Set up C shell environment:
if ( $?prompt ) then# shell is interactive.
set history=20# previous commands to remember.
set savehist=20# number to save across sessions.
set system=`hostname`# name of this system.
set prompt = "$system \!: "# command prompt.
#
# Aliases:
source .alias
if (-e $HOME/.alias) source $HOME/.alias
# Personalized Prompt:
# Type1:
#set prompt="sabhlok@rcf"\(!\):
#Type 2:
#set prompt="${cwd}> "
#alias cd 'chdir \!*; set prompt = "$cwd> "'
#Type 3:
# form: [cmd#]cpu:directory>
set cpu=`hostname | awk '{FS = "."; print $1}'`
# set cpu = computer name
alias sp set prompt='$cpu\(!\)$cwd\>\ '
# set sp to set the prompt
alias cd 'chdir \!* ; sp'
# redefine cd command
alias pd 'pushd \!* ; sp'
# redefine pd command
alias pp 'popd \!* ; sp'
# redefine pp command
sp # set the prompt
# Change Shell:
echo 'NOTE: Before you proceed, type se [backspace]. Then tcsh'
# Don't overwrite existing files with the redirection character ">"
set noclobber
# Don't create core dump files when a program blows up.
limit coredumpsize 0
# Check to see if this is an interactive shell.
# If not, skip the rest of this file.
if ($?USER == 0 || $?prompt == 0) exit
## Set C shell variables
# Remember my 40 most recent events
set history=40
# Save the most recent 40 events when I log out
set savehist=40
# Substitute the filename to be completed when I type an <ESC> at
# the command line
set filec
# create a log of all work done on the screen
echo 'when needed, create a log of the screen by typing script'
echo ' '
cal
echo "Today is: `date`"
echo ' '
echo "You have `ls|wc -l` files in `pwd`"
echo "Type pending to edit pending list"
echo ' '
