It is difficult (perhaps impossible) in the current (Gosling) emacs to
put csh in a window.  Emacs uses MXIO (multiplexed i/o) to handle
sub-processes.  Csh keeps changing its process group when doing job
control stuff.  These two things are incompatible.  MXIO isn't fancy
enough (it is, after all, "experimental") to keep track of where a
process is if that process insists on moving around all the time.

P.S.  Except for the fact that it's different, why do you need csh if
your shell is inside emacs?  Since you have an editor, you don't need
the history sustitution, and as for job control, just start up a shell
window for every process you want to control.  I prefer csh as a login
shell, mainly because of the job control and history, but inside emacs
I don't miss it.
