--- Comment #4 from Slawomir Wojciech Wojtczak <vermaden@interia.pl> ---
There were many additions to /bin/sh for interactive work like completion e=
tc.

IMHO it would be nice to have such simple yet very useful feature implement=
ed.

CSH is terrible for interactive use for a 'power user'.

Several examples what does not work in CSH below.

<CSH> % ls /etc | while read I; do something --with "${I}"; done

<CSH> % for I in $( find /etc ); do something --with "${I}"; done

CSH is very limited ... it may have '!!' implemented and some other complet=
ions
but ... has tons of other problems.

Not to even mention simple redirections ...

<CSH> % find /etc 2> /dev/null
      find: /etc/ntp: Permission denied
      find: 2: No such file or directory

... not to even mention these (and many more) :)
