some time ago I encountered the same stupid lines in /etc/inputrc also

originally meant to mean
if ( NOT -f $HOME/.inputrc ) then
setenv INPUTRC /etc/inputrc
endif
(I don't know the proper csh syntax for this)
this way, it could set the readline library to some reasonable default
in /etc/inputrc if the user does not have his own .inputrc file.
Ha! Of course. That explains it. That makes perfect sense. Without the
"NOT" it was just an attempt to overrule a user preference.
For "NOT" we use "!" in tcsh/csh. So this works correctly:
if ( ! -f $HOME/.inputrc ) then
setenv INPUTRC /etc/inputrc
endif
Thanks for the excellent suggestion.
