Subject:   using local .cshrc? (weird problems = need pointer)

Dear all:

I seem to be suffering some strange problems and I need some pointers
to tell me where to look for solutions.

In my personal workstation something is broken.
My local .cshrc is not read, instead, the one in /etc/csh.cshrc is
read and executed.
I have a similar machine set up, without the symptoms but I don't
happen to see where the failure is located.

Permissions on both machines are similar:
-rw-r--r--

I also have some problems with my terminal setup, since mutt (ncurses
based email agent) is refusing to show nothing but a mono (B&W)
display. I can't explain why, but I have a strong feeling that both
problems are related somehow.
For this particular problem:
TERM is xterm
TERMCAP is not defined (although I'm not sure I need this)
I can switch to TERM = xterm-color or linux to get some color display,
but definitely with weird results (ie not the right choice)

One of my suspects is mutt-devel which I installed from ports. But the
problem with the local .cshrc is older ...

I would appreciate any ideas about how to find the culprit.

Is there any place where I could override reading of local .cshrc?

Thanks in advance,

Fernan
