Try looking for "command separator" on the csh man page.  Another excellent
source of  information is the O'Reilly Nutshell Handbook, UNIX in a Nutshell
(ISBN 1-56592-001-5, ~$10 US).  It was written for System V, but 99% of it
applies to BSD.  It is a little terse, but very thorough. It lists (almost, as
far as BSD is concerned) all the UNIX commands, and the Bourne, Korn and C
shell commands, along with many more advanced topics.  It also lists, and
explains to some degree, the various operators, built-in variables,
expressions, and such.  It also provides _some_ examples, again terse but
thorough.  It is definitely a reference and not a tutorial, guide, mother or
baby sitter.  When I know what I want to do, but I do not know how to do it,
this is where I look.  I have a copy at work and at home (high praise from a
tightwad like me).
