nope. the fact that we set the prompt in /usr/athena/lib/init/cshrc
should be a sign that you should do the same (thus, if you set your
prompt in ~/.cshrc.mine the right thing will happen).
if we make the change you suggest, then we will set the prompt (and do
all those other things) for shells which are not interactive, which is
a bad thing.
