Hi Steve, on Feb 3 you wrote:

For CSH, you simply need to change the shell assigned to your userid entry.
Use the CHFN command (as the user you wish to change or CHFN <user> as ROOT).
This will bring up an editor where you can edit the entry for the specific
user.

The default location of CSH is /bin/csh, so change the Shell entry to that,
and save/write the new entry.
