Considering that IS doesn't even *have* a good way to automatically
propagate changes to the dotfiles in your home directory, I think it's
safe to say the term "system-wide file" refers to $initdir/cshrc, so
as long as you source that, you're o.k. $HOME/.cshrc doesn't really
do anything but source the "system-wide file", anyway, so it shouldn't
need to be changed.
