Yes, I know, I was referring to the additional one that Max suggested.

There _is_ a FAQ entry on this--although in it I said to put the
source /sw/bin/init.csh
in .tcshrc if it were present, rather than to source .cshrc .

I do not mind that much if we change to .tcshrc from a techincal
point of view. What I fear, though, is that we also will have some
troubles in the transition period. Basically not so advanced users
with a .cshrc based setup will start reading about .tcshrc. In the
worst case, they may start using .tcshrc w/o taking their existing
stuff in .cshrc - suffering!
Hence, if we do this, an absolutly required minimum thing is that we
add a page or a FAQ item which clearly explains the difference (or
lack of, except for the reading order) between the two files. It
should be possible to even explain to a newbie in a few sentences
what the situation is. FAQ 3.18 is not sufficient for this; rather,
add a seperate FAQ entry "What is the difference between .tcshrc and
.cshrc" or so, and maybe link to it from the appropriate places
(like
3.18).
Perhaps we should continue to tell them to add it to ~/.cshrc, and
then say that if ~/.tcshrc exists, add "source ~/.cshrc" to
~/.tcshrc.
That sounds good. Perhaps a FAQ entry would clear up everything.
Thanks. :)
