thank you, "tcsh -l" seems to work (but "tcsh - -i" nor "tcsh -i -" worked).

Did you try?

     tcsh -l 

or 

     tcsh - -i

So I changed the shell invocation line in cygwin.bat from:

bash --login -i

to this:

tcsh -i -

Then, i get the following output:
true: Command not found.
true: Command not found.
true: Command not found.
true: Command not found.
true: Command not found.
true: Command not found.
true: Command not found.
true: Command not found.
true: Command not found.
stty: Command not found.
tput: Command not found.
stty: Command not found.
limit: Command not found.
vesperus / %

so it starts tcsh at the end, finally, but i'm in the root dir instead
of my home dir (the way bash does) and i am unable to use many standard
commands (e.g., ls, pwd).

Does anyone know what files I need to change, where they are, and what
to change them to?

$ mkshortcut -D -A -n "tcshw"  -a '-l' /usr/bin/tcsh.exe

Or just right click on the cywgin icon's properties and change the shell
it runs, if you want to hack.  Or change the shell for your account, in
/etc/passwd I think.
