Question doubt in .cshrc

what kind of information is there .cshrc ?

I want to set an alias in the form of
=>#alias setprompt 'set prompt=">>$user<<@`hostname`:${cwd}% "'

Ex. alias pr 'cd /home/username'

when I make the change and try to do $pr ... its saying pr: command not found

Is there any way I can recompile the .cshrc file so that the changes made int that file are reflected?

Thanks,
Priya.

NAME
which - locate a command; display its pathname or alias SYNOPSIS
which [filename...] DESCRIPTION
which takes a list of names and looks for the files which would be executed had these names been given as commands. Each argument is expanded if it is aliased, and searched for along the user's path. Both aliases and path are taken from the user's .cshrc file. FILES
~/.cshrc source of aliases and path values /usr/bin/which ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
csh(1), attributes(5) DIAGNOSTICS
A diagnostic is given for names which are aliased to more than a single word, or if an executable file with the argument name was not found in the path. NOTES
which is not a shell built-in command; it is the UNIX command, /usr/bin/which BUGS
Only aliases and paths from ~/.cshrc are used; importing from the current environment is not attempted. Must be executed by csh(1), since only csh knows about aliases. To compensate for ~/.cshrc files in which aliases depend upon the prompt variable being set, which sets this variable to NULL. If the ~/.cshrc produces output or prompts for input when prompt is set, which may produce some strange results. SunOS 5.10 26 Sep 1992 which(1)
