The latest version of the Tcsh does a little check on every command you enter
for "rm *" and prompts you with "Do you really want to delete all files? "
accordingly.  You don't have to alias anything, and it's not the least
bit annoying.  Tcsh can be FTP'ed from tesla.ee.cornell.edu (128.84.253.11)
in /pub/tcsh-5.19/....  Even if you don't have problems with "rm *", I strongly
recommend using this powerful shell.
