"Hello World\n"

Is there a .login or .cshrc or .profile which is read upon startup
of a remote shell? i.e. remsh in Motorola SYSV (rsh in SunOs).

If I issue the command 

	remsh host date

I get eastern standard time. I can, however, issue

	remsh host TZ=$TZ date

and get the date adjusted to the timezone of the local machine (assuming
the host "runs" sh or ksh).

This is all well and good for simple commands. What I need is a way
to cause the remote shell to read some .profile by default to set up the
ENV without resorting to

	remsh host ". /u/me/.profile; command"

for each command. It just seems inelegant.
