Under the C shell, I know I can redirect both stdout & stderr with
the ">&" combination;

e.g. make >& make.log

will put both the stdout and stderr ouputs in make.log.

*BUT* after all these years I still can't figure out how to redirect
*just* stderr independently of stdout under the C Shell.

Under the Bourne shell, one can just do "N>" where N is the number
of the file descriptor you want to redirect, so "2>" will redirect stderr.
e.g.  make > make.stdout 2> make.stderr

would separate the stdout from the stderr in 2 different files as indicated.

I'm at a loss under the C Shell.

Can some wizard please come to my rescue and solve this 10-year mystery
for me???

Thanks in advance,
