You can do this outside, from .login and .logout. Regardez:

.logout:

# save dir stack - if we can!
if ( -w $HOME ) then
    dirs > $HOME/.dirs
endif

.login:

# get dirs
foreach d (`cat ${HOME}/.dirs`)
    pushd $d >& /dev/null
    pushd +1 >& /dev/null	# swap to bottom of stack
    end
unset d				# Clean, ain't I?
popd				# pop ~ to get to last wd, and display stack
set argv=(`dirs`)		# store dir stack, to access as $[0-9]
