alias

how can i make an alias to a comand so that whwnever i turn the terminal on i can tipe in the alias and it will perform the comand?

alias (new command) (standard command)

alias dir ls will add a 'dir' command to list files.

put the line in your .cshrc file to make it persistent

Or if you want everyone to use the aliases (in the tcsh), edit the /usr/share/inits/tcsh/tcsh.defaults file or maybe the aliases file in the same directory.

I always like to make a 'cl' alias that does 'clear; ls -lH'.
