Fw: problem with ls and similar commands in tcsh

["mike parks" <mwparks at worldnet dot att dot net>]

hi

i am running the latest cygwin win32 version on windows xp pro and am
having the following error or strange behavior.

i start a tcsh by typing tcsh on the bash command line in the cygwin
window. when i do i see this

    if: Expression Syntax.

then when i type this
    ls temp*                (3 files should be reported)

i get this
    ls: temp*: No such file or directory

my CYGWIN variable is not set to anything. i noticed some bug reports
related to this on the website. they say i should set $CYGWIN to
    check_case:strict

i also noticed that there can be many variables set in the $CYGWIN env
variable.

*** 1) how do i do that? separating them with ':'? is this done in a .cshrc
file for example?

*** 2) is there anything else i need to do as well to solve this problem?

*** 3) also, how do i set tcsh as my default shell? do i need a .cshrc file?
*** 4) if so, does it go in the 'home' directory?

i noticed there is quite a bit of info on this tcsh/ls subject on the
website
but i am not clear what the complete solution is.

thanks for your help.

mike parks
