These files perform the same function but for different shells.  A ".sh"
is for Bourne SHell (or Bourne Again SHell: bash) while a ".csh" is for
the C SHell.  Each shell has its own syntax and its own peculiarities and
its own advocates and there are plenty more to choose from!  I'd include a
URL if I could remember one...
