Normally, tcsh reads its start-up files in the following order:

/etc/csh.cshrc
/etc/csh.login
~/.tcshrc
~/.cshrc
~/.login

You can check this by typing:

echo $version

If "lf" doesn't appear in the options list, the order given above is used.

I'd check the contents of $TERM within /etc/csh.cshrc by echoing it to
make sure that it is set as expected. Did you?
