What is so wonderful in tcsh that you can't do in ksh?  Have you tried
ksh?  (OK, I admit that there are a few features in (t)csh that I
would like to see in ksh: the {} metacharacters come first to mind.
Bash (the GNU Bourne-Again Shell) would be ideal, I guess, if only it
was a bit easier to port to HP-UX, or actually POSIX, job control etc.
Or maybe I haven't had time enough to try porting the latest
version...)
