tcsh - some more questions

[Brynn Rogers]

A few people here including me are starting to use tcsh.

I have a couple of questions that aren't answered anywhere in the documentation
file. (and the other people here seem to have the same problems)

1) Where should I 'exec tcsh' or 'exec -tcsh'?  
   In my .cshrc file?   with 'if (! $?tcsh) exec -tcsh' for example?
   In my .login file?

2) should  'set history=100 ; set savehist=100'  be done before 
   entry into tcsh or after?   I can't get history to work anymore.
   (when I invoked tcsh manually the history seemed to work fine.)

3) How do I make stty understand that I want pass8 permanently on?
   (It seems like when I exit vi or some programs that it will no
    longer accept Meta-something, but stty shows pass8 still correct.
    doing 'stty pass8' again fixes it for a while)

4) is this the group where I post this?  Should I try and send this
   in as a bug report?
