If you're using tcsh, and you don't want to sit and read the man file on
how to do everything under the sun w/ tcsh, I recommend installing dotfile
(in the ports - /usr/ports/misc/dotfile).  It has configuration scripts
for setting all kinds of things for tcsh and in addition procmail, elm,
emacs, fvwm, ipfwadm etc.
