In Korn shell, if you are using windows,  you can do the following:

echo $-

What is returned is this:

ism -> If you are the shell created at the time the window is created.
sch -> If you are the shell of another shell.

Is there anything similar to this in csh?  I have looked at everything I 
could get my hands on, (man pages, csh reference quide, csh gurus) but nothing
has come of it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
