.cshrc is *a* shell config file.  To be more precise it is the file
that csh/tcsh (usually) reads in when started. (For details on exactly
what files is read at startup by this shell read the csh(1) manpage.)

Other shells read other files. (sh looks at .profile, zsh uses
zshenv/zlogin/zshrc, etc.)  Read the manpage for each shell to find out
all the messy details.

Why should anything happen?  What did you expect to happen?
