Hello,

I currently have my preferences for vi set using EXINIT.  This is great
so long as I am logged in under my own account.  However, there are
several other user-accounts that I and some of my colleagues use on a
regular basis, eg. editor, support, tester, for which I would like to
set my own vi preferences without affecting my colleagues' vi
sessions.

I know if I do a `su tester', for example,  that my EXINIT will be
exported into the su'ed shell and any vi's started will use this.
(This is why I don't use .exrc).  Alas, I don't use `su' anymore
because I got fed-up typing passwords in all the time; instead I use
lines (in my .openwin-menu) like:

    exec rsh `hostname` -l tester "xterm -n Tester -display $DISPLAY"

I don't need to type a password for this since I have user-equivalence
courtesy of a mention in .rhosts.  However my EXINIT is not exported
using this method and I get frustrated and confused in my unfamiliar vi
environment :-(sulk).

Does anybody have any ideas?  In case you need the info, I use tcsh and
all the other accounts are either tcsh or plain csh. 

Thanks for your time.
