thanks a lot for your reply
i  found termcap file in /etc in system(FREEBSD 5.3RC) and csh is my current  working shell 
then i set variable TERMCAP in ~/.cshrc:
setenv TERMCAP /etc/termcap
in ~/.emacs:
(setq explicit-term-file-name "/bin/csh")
but yesterday once more,csh doesn't work in emacs who still said "csh:can't open /etc/termcap"
so,what 's wrong  with what i did?
