I have noticed since I installed 6.2, that anyone that uses csh has
these files created in their ~home dir.

Even root.

Anyone have a .profile/.cshrc/.login that can shut this off?

Excerpt from man less:

LESSHISTFILE
Name of the history file used to remember search commands and
shell commands between invocations of less. If set to "-", a
history file is not used. The default is "$HOME/.lesshst" on
Unix systems, "$HOME/_lesshst" on DOS and Windows systems, or
"$HOME/lesshst.ini" or "$INIT/lesshst.ini" on OS/2 systems.
