Sounds as though you have an empty file.

My approach would be to use 'vi'. You'll need to learn to use it first
though... vi is just an editor, so

cd
vi .cshrc

will allow you to edit/create a .cshrc. When you save it, it will be
ready for use, and will be read next time you log in (or immeditely if
you type 'source .cshrc').

There may be easier editors about than vi though.
