Thanks. But why not plain-old README that comes with the OS itself? >> Now you have to work on your own .tcshrc to have your shell behave >> decently. > > The file is still there; it just has to be activated. > > echo "source /usr/share/tcsh/examples/rc" > ~/.tcshrc I do carry my own dot files so it is not the problem for me and I second jhk. The problem is that for many MacOS X Terminal is the first encounter to Unix shell. And we all know how dangerous vanilla shell can be to novices. It doesn't even 'alias rm rm -i'. I would hate to hear "hey, Linux distro A is much user-friendlier than OS X". I think the best solution would be to auto-create .t?cshrc when an account was issued, like what many other OSes when you adduser(8). This is both novice-safe and poweruser-happy. Otherwise, it's people like me, not apple, who get messages like "file not found" ;) Dan the Man with Too Many Questions Redirected in Vain
