In Article 10884 of comp.unix.questions:
]The last line is not needed. csh does this `source' for you automatically.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but--
	source -h ~/.history
    adds .history to the current history.  I.e. (maybe you knew this Dave)
    the 32 command history that Enrico has after his .login finishes is 
    the contents of his .history file followed by the contents of his
    .history file.  ;-)
