Lines: 12 While we're on the subject, it would be nice if csh would interpret the following: while (condition) & ... end in the "proper" manner. That is, it should execute the while in a subshell in the background. An alternative syntax would be to enclose the while loop in '(...) &'. The sh shell allows the latter.
