This is a handy .login for tcsh users -- gives a nicer login prompt, and updates the terminal window title bar.

When I used tcsh, I had something like this in my precmd.

alias postcmd  'echo -n "^[]2\;\!#:q^G"'

-- taken directly from the man page.

It puts the currently running command in the title bar. There's also jobcmd, but I'm not sure the tcsh I was using had that.
