Try 

M-x shell RET 

instead.  If csh is your regular shell, this will work.  Also, if you
would like to use a custom startup file (e.g., to change your prompt
or something) create a file called ~/.emacs_csh and emacs will run it
when you start a new shell.

HTH.

In a regular shell inside GNU Emacs this shell needs from an entry for 
a terminal type emacs which usually comes from a file called termcap. 
Inside your GNU Emacs distribution you'll find 
/usr/local/share/emacs/<version number>/etc/termcap.src. If your system 
does not have its own termcap file, create an environment variable 
TERMPATH and let it point to the termcap.src file. Or create a symlink 
/etc/termcap pointing to /usr/local/share/emacs/<version 
number>/etc/termcap.src.

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?
