Ben,
First, I'd look in /etc/passwd and see what shell you have for a
default. I'll bet you a nickel the seventh field in each line is
/bin/bash. It is possible to install both csh and bash, and you would
have the man pages for csh, but if bash is the default shell, the
contents of csh.cshrc would have no effect on it. Shell commands are
mostly executed by the shell itself, so you won't find them as
themselves anywhere on your system.
If you find you are using bash, you could, of course, change
/etc/passwd to use /bin/csh instead, or you could read the manpages for
bash. On about the fifth reading, they may even start to make some
sense. That's what I like about manpages: the more you know, the more
sense you can make out of them. Anyway, the global rc file for bash is
/etc/profile.
ICBW, of course, but then it'll cost me a first class stamp to mail you
your nickel. Hard come, easy go.
