I use this nice color-ized bash prompt:
PS1="\[^[[32m\]\u@\h\[^[[0m\]:\[^[[33m\]\w\[^[[0m\]\$ "

So change it... PS1 is the environment variable used for the prompt.
try adding this to your .profile:
export PS1="[\u@\h \W]\\$ "
That'll give you a nice RedHat-like prompt :)

But I'd suggest bash instead. Ref. "C Shell Programming Considered Harmful" by Tom Christiansen (47.02 Unix Power Tools, 'coz I can't find the original). It's not just scripting that tcsh is crippled in -- it's just general command line stuff. Ick.
Hmmm... When the suggestions started rolling in, I tried bash on my telnet account with my web hosting company. It changed my prompt to BashNN (where NN was the version number). I really hated that and never looked back.
I prefer my own custom propmpt...
