This module describes common ways you can customize the UNIX environment. Because you talk to UNIX through the shell, you will learn how to take advantage of the C shell features used to customize your UNIX environment.
By the end of this module, you will be able to:

1. Create and manage aliases
2. Use the history feature to work with previous commands
3. Customize your system prompt
4. Use the .cshrc file to store your C shell settings

In the next lesson, command shortcuts using the alias command will be discussed.
