Make sure you end each session by typing "exit". If you don't, then nothing gets saved...

control d works, too.

You might check the perms on ~/.tcsh_history. It would be odd (and scary) if they were wrong, but stranger things have happened.

josh@muffin: ls -l .tcsh_history 
-rw-------  1 josh  staff  171 Apr  2 08:07 .tcsh_history

That's what I get, and mine works fine. Looks like permissions aren't your issue.

Any way to get logout to run when you close a Terminal window?

You have to use 'exit' or '^d'. Cmd-W just closes the window, and terminates any running commands. (Like the shell itself, for example.)
