Pardon me if I was unclear.  The first quoted part above was about the
inclusion in the email; the second quoted part refers only to the inclusion
of that code in the tcsh sources.  The fact that I found an example on
Apple's website is incidental; that code is in the latest released version
(6.13.00) of the mainline tcsh sources.  I Cc'd the tcsh list to see if they
knew about this, but for some reason my post hasn't gone through.  I did
subscribe but maybe it took a while to update itself; maybe this one will
work.

I didn't intend to imply that you were going to :)
