I want to create an "alias" in my .tcshrc file that will automatically "ls -altF" when I "cd." I'm using Mac OSX 10.4.2.
Thanks for your help!

alias cd 'cd \!* ; ls -altF'

I use ksh, but in tcsh there are a set of special aliases.
One of them is called cwdcmd and it will execute every time the current workind directory changes
so alias cwdcmd 'ls -altf' should give you the behavior you want, be careful of which direction 'ticks' you use, that will mess you up too
another more convential way of doing it is
alias cd 'ls -altf $1 ; /usr/bin/cd '
Depending on what shell you use, and where cd is located it might be slightly different.

You are in the wrong place, go to a Linux forum.
