I am new to the HP;  perhaps someone can help me with the following
problem.  When logging in to the console, my .cshrc is not read when
a new window is opened.  In addition, a job winds stopped up in background,
complaining that it cannot cat the copyright notice to the screen.  When
I rlogin remotely I don't have this problem, and when I login without
the window manager directly onto the console I don't have this problem.
My .login file contains the following lines, among others:

# Add windows at login:
if ( "`who am i`" =~ *console* ) then
    if ( -x /usr/bin/x11start ) then
        exec /usr/bin/x11start
    endif
endif

It seems to be windows opened from the X environment that have this
problem.

Can anybody help?

    -P.
