Not at the top! :-)

We have useful things in our .cshrc files that are desirable when
doing remote shells and non-interactive shells.

Certainly put the above "if" (and a "then") AROUND any stuff that 
is done to the tty (actually that stuff can usually go in the .login 
file instead), but one need not be so drastic as to exit from 
the .cshrc altogether.
