What were you trying to do?
Look at the current "Prototype user .cshrc file".
What's wrong:
There are several problems. The 'set path' command should
probably be more reminiscent of that found in the file
/usr/athena/lib/init/cshrc, e.g., '.' should not be at the
beginning of the path, and /usr/athena/bin should be in
the path.
It refers to a "Project Athena".
It provides some information about what other standard
dotfiles should be used for, but doesn't refer the user
to more complete information found in the on-line help.
It uses inconsistent spelling, i.e., both "C shell" and
"cshell".
What should have happened:
Perhaps .cshrc should have been patched as follows:
