Are you using csh or tcsh as your shell? If not, then your shell 
isn't checking .cshrc for the environment.

Also, the only reason that you can hit "return" is because there are 
openquotes there without the matching close (until the 2nd line). If 
you don't use the quotes, then it will consider the return to be the 
end of the prompt. It works from the command line...let me chek it 
from a file...yup, worked fine for me...I use tcsh. You may want to 
make sure that, if you appended that to the bottom of your .cshrc, 
that there is another return after it...i.e. have a blank last line 
in the file.

Just a thought,
