aliases, resource files, GRASS

When I start up a shell, the shell looks for
a resource file, ".cshrc". In it I can define
all sorts of nifty things, like aliases.

When I start up GRASS, does GRASS check for (and
execute) a similar file? If so, what should
this file be named? I just tried ".grass.cshrc"
and ".grasscshrc" and neither of these seemed
to work. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
