The file $HOME/.login contains login configuration
commands for the account.  An example of a typical
login configuration file can be found as
   /usr/local/etc/stdlogin

The file $HOME/.cshrc contains shell configuration
commands for the account.  An example of a typical
shell configuration file can be found as
   /usr/local/etc/stdcshrc


As a specific example, you will probably want to make sure that
your file $HOME/.cshrc includes the line 
   source /usr/local/etc/fermi.cshrc
in order to have the help pages (MANPATH) and the batch
system (nqs) defined.

In addition, you will most likely want to keep "setup" commands
out of your .cshrc file, as they will prevent rcp from
working correctly.
