I have downloaded the tcsh binaries from the archive site, and installed
it on a 4D/240S, 4D/260S, 4D/280S, and a Personal IRIS.

It works GREAT on the three servers.  On the PI, a number of things happen:

   1. when root logs on, the console (as an icon) shows up, then the
      toolchests appear, then the console simply disapears!!!

      I also had the night program running in the background (started
      from the .csrhc).  With tcsh, it did not even start!!!!

      But I can go to the toolchest and start a wsh.


   2. Loging in as a user, the same thing happens, AND I can't start
      a wsh at all!!!  In other words, it's useless!!!!

If I go back to the password file and change the login shell back to
/bin/csh, everything is back to normal....

Did that happen to anyone else????

Any suggestions????

Thank you for your help,
