Csh doesn't do this, but tcsh does. Tcsh is available as a port(*) and probably (I can't look right now) as a package(**) on the CDs. (*) Install the port with "cd /usr/ports/shells/tcsh ; make install" as root when you are either online or have the CD with the appropriate distfile (tcsh-*.tar.gz) mounted. (**) Install the package from the CD with "pkg_add". This is faster than building and installing the port. Tcsh is then installed as (I think) /usr/local/bin/tcsh. Check if the installation has added this this to /etc/shells (and put it in there if it hasn't) and change your login shell to this path. Greetings, Juergen.
