TCSH Issues (6.18.01)

Kptain
Hi,

I'm facing strange behavior while starting new tcsh (6.18.01) session:

Starting path (example):
maindir/doc

At the end of /etc/csh.cshrc, I need to change defaut working dir to doc folder
by making:
cd doc

BUT nothing change!
directory path is not changed (still maindir)
prompt itself is not updated according to "cd command"
However after startup when I type manually:
cd doc
it works and all is fine!
So my question, why is it impossible de make change directory from etc/csh.cshrc

To complete this information,
please note also that I got following message from xterm:
tcsh: No entry for terminal type "xterm"
tcsh: using dumb terminal setting

TCSH is used from Cygwin 1.7.22 delivery
(I've update ny cygwin package from 1.7.15, in which same issue hapens)

Best regards,

K.
