set path=($path .)

csh seems to automatically export this; you shouldn't need a separate setenv.

BTW: After adding programs to the directories in your path, you may need to
type "rehash" to get csh to recognize them, or restart csh. I don't think
you need to rehash after changing the path variable, though.
