Wrong. This is the default setting in /etc/csh.cshrc on one of my Linux systems. > are "neat default settings".

I mentioned in the announcement that from now on there are global config files for tcsh in /etc. These settings are just start settings. What nobody actually seem to care about is to _read_ the config files or even my announcement. Otherwise you would know about the following: - Don't change /etc/csh.cshrc. If you really need global(!) settings, add one or more files to /etc/profile.d with the suffix ".csh". - Otherwise, all the `neat' settings are overridden as soon as the user has a .cshrc in his/her $HOME. Quote from /etc/csh.cshrc: # If we find $HOME/.cshrc we skip our settings used for interactive sessions. if (-r $HOME/.cshrc) goto end [...] Which means additionally that I don't comment on this issue again and that you'll need a really really good reasoning if you want me to change that file (e.g. an error). And don't forget, regardless of the content of the system /etc/csh.* files, at least one person will complain.
