or, if you want a separate rc file for csh and tcsh, tcsh can use ~/.tcshrc
here's an example if you want it:
----begin crap
dan:drk:[12:54pm]:~> cat .tcshrc
# .tcshrc
# User specific aliases and functions
alias rm 'rm -i'
alias cp 'cp -i'
alias mv 'mv -i'
alias cls 'clear'
alias sl 'ls'
alias drk '/usr/local/bin/ssh -l drk drk.voyager.net'
alias netophilia '/usr/local/bin/ssh -l drk netophilia.net'
alias last '/usr/bin/last | more'
alias xscreensaver '/usr/X11R6/bin/xscreensaver -timeout 10 -lock-mode -no-splash &'
alias xlock '/usr/X11R6/bin/xscreensaver-command -select 79'
setenv PATH "/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:$PATH"
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/local/include/"
setenv AUDIOFILE_CONFIG "/usr/local/bin/audiofile-config"
set tempuser=`exec whoami`
set prompt="%S%m%s:%U${tempuser}%u:[%@]:%~> "
unset autologout
----end crap
also, FYI - order matters in your path statement. In this example, when you type a command - the first place looked at is /usr/local/sbin, then /usr/sbin, then /sbin, so on......
