The csh provided with my NeXTslab-2.0 has been a complete mystery, up to
this point, without man pages nor source. A brilliant light showed up on
Internet this morning, i.e. ref. 11903@pt.cs.cmu.edu in that the provided
csh is not an ordinary csh, but a CMU-csh.  I had been wondering just why
my set commands said      editmode dumb      without any clues as to what
was dumb! I suppose mostly me......*-)...... At ant rate I have now fixed
.login
with a:
set editmode=emacs
and all is brilliant especially when terminating remotely from home
Thanks to our Internet friends at CMU I can now enjoy the beauty of CMU-csh
