Subject:    What is correct way to start xterm from .XWinrc?

My .XWinrc file has this menu line:

        "xterm"      EXEC  "xterm -e tcsh"

Since my default shell in /etc/passwd is /bin/tcsh, why should I need
to specify it here also?  If I don't specify it, a new xterm doesn't
execute my ~/.cshrc file.  I do not have a ~/.login or ~/.profile
file.

What is the right way to do this?

Thanks - Jim
