I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!

After being away from the net for awhile I now have an account which
will post news. So here's my first return question:

I know the .cshrc file is run when I start up terminal (since I still
run csh--got to get some time to look at bash). But at what other
times is it invoked. I would say "it isn't". However, it runs when
I use 'which', it runs when I print from TeXview, and probably at other
times.

How do I know this?--Because I put some commands in the .cshrc file
to power down the printer and set the background. Now at odd times
(like running 'which') the printer goes on and off and the background
flashs.

Why do I care?--Because I don't like my printer going on and off and
my background flashing!

Anyone got any idea why this happens and what to do about it?

Thanks,
Charlie
