The .login/.zshprofile/.zshlogin file isn't sourced every time you'd need it (typically, it's not sourced from an XDM login), so you need to move stuff from there into zshenv. On another hand, a variable indicating whether the shell is a login shell is necessary (and sadly missing from tcsh). Stefan
