Put some or all of these in ~/.cshrc

# size of history buffer
set history = 100

# enable auto-complete
set filec

# stop it beeping
set nobeep

# ignore *.o files for file completion
set fignore = '.o'

# '%' prompt for normal user; '#' for root/su
set promptchars="%#"

# /path/to/cwd{cmd number}%
set prompt="%/{!}%# "

# List matches when autocompleting
set autolist=true

# enable spelling correction
set correct=all

# Useful key bindins
bindkey "^W" backward-delete-word
bindkey -k up history-search-backward
bindkey -k down history-search-forward
bindkey "^?" backward-delete-char
bindkey "\e[3~" delete-char
bindkey "\e[1~" beginning-of-line
bindkey "\e[4~" end-of-line

See csh(1) for loads of additional options!
