Thanks to everyone that replied or sent me email on this topic. After some
experiment on the suggestions you gave me, I decide to use Ron Flax's
method. He suggests putting the following two lines in .tcshrc

	if ( `/bin/tty` == /dev/console ) source ~/.login
	source ~/.cshrc

The second line is necessary if you have .cshrc file because tcsh does not
execute .cshrc automatically if it finds a .tcshrc.
