i get following error.
how do i troubleshoot?
where is it coming from ?

[root@machine1 ~]# csh
set: Variable name must begin with a letter.
....
how can i pinpoint which line exactly is throwing that error i see
when i try to run csh from command prompt ?

csh -V

will pinpoint the error line quite clearly, but you'll then have to find in
which file it exists. grep makes that part easy too.

e.g.:

$ csh -V
....
setenv MAIL "/var/spool/mail/$USER"
limit coredumpsize 0

set 123test = "hey there"
set: Variable name must begin with a letter.
