From 'man tcsh':

rehash :

Causes the internal hash table of the contents  of the  directories
in the path variable to be recomputed.  This is needed if new
commands  are  added to directories  in  path while you are logged
in. This should be necessary only if you add  commands to  one of 
your own directories, or if a systems programmer changes the
contents of one of the system directories.   Also flushes the
cache of home directories built by tilde expansion.
