Sorry, wrote before thinking. :-)

Of course ~/.login is csh syntax, as I would guess after
(missed to) read the file's header which states:

# .login - csh login script, read by login shell, after `.cshrc' at login.
# see also csh(1), environ(7).

So simply moving your commands from .cshrc to .login
should be fully sufficient.
