I have come to prefer tcsh and would like to make that the default. What is the best way to go about that? Of course, I can switch shells on the fly, but I want to avoid that extra step of cahnging from bash to tcsh, and instead log straight into tcsh from the log- in prompt. After using Linux for a few years, I changed tp FreeBSD a bit more than a year ago and am very pleased. Thank you for making Unix a pleasure to use, even as a non-professional like me. I hope I can volunteer my services in some way in the future. Thanks in advance, Bill Scully
