Grex Garage Item 36: global.cshrc is wrong and bad
Entered by yecril71pl on Thu Feb 28 12:23:23 UTC 2008:

global.cshrc is a file sourced by every interactive C shell.
Since it is the default shell, it is sourced for most users.
It contins an alias for tset; this alias is a bad thing 
because you get incorrect results when you invoke it with options
(try e.g. tset '-q').
It is also wrong because it uses "${$}" to name a temporary file.
This technique is explicitly discouraged in the C shell manual page.

global.cshrc appears to be empty.
