Hi,

I'm running Eterm-0.9 and my shell is set to tcsh. Eterm's login_shell
setting is set to false.

My shell settings check to see if they are being read for an inteacative
session or not by checking $?prompt. That should return 1 if prompt is
defined and the tcsh manual says:

Set by default to `%# ' in interactive shells.

Now the test works if I use ssh or telnet but fails if I just open a new
Eterm (or xterm for that matter).

So why doesn't tcsh know we are interactive?

Thanks,

Andrew
