Usually the problem is that your .cshrc file emits output when it
shouldn't. Here's the normal trick I was taught back in '85. Put this
at or near the top of your .cshrc file. Obviously, my .cshrc file was
set up to work on multiple environments... ;-)
# if non-interactive, do not set up aliases, etc., but set path.
if ($?prompt == 0) then
# compensate for SunOS braindamage: umask is set in login, and
# the default is 0, not 022.
umask 022
setenv WHICHWINDOW x # assume the most liberal PATH
source ${HOME}/.setpath
exit
endif
