On our sun 3's (4.03) tcsh (Cornell) 11/10/90 options 8b,el,dl,al,
the 4 sun keyboard arrow keys are all bound to up-history notwithstanding
them man pages description of these bindings.

Using bindkey, I can rebind these keys just find from the command line.
If I put the bindkey commands in .cshrc, however, they don't work at 
all -- unless I source .cshrc from the command line.

Why doesn't bindkey work in .cshrc?
How do I do what I want?

You sure that you don't have a .tcshrc in your home directory? If it
exists, tcsh will source it instead of a .cshrc.
