Macports Install 1.6: cshrc shell not working

[List Acct]

Hello,

I read that ticket and assumed  it was a problem with 1.7rc1 based in  
the title of the ticket.

macports 1.7rc1 writes path variable to .tcshrc even when a .cshrc is  
present
Another Sys Admin and I modified the existing .tcshrc file to no   
avail. There was no .cshrc file, so I may try doing that next.

But again, I thought this was a problem with the new RC version of  
Macports, _not_ 1.6 stable, which is what I installed.

Thanks,
Eliot Lee
