While Jeff Bernardis' solution (to the problem of reading sequential
lines from a file in a csh script) is quite nice,  it is a solution
for the BOURNE shell, NOT the csh.  The original question asked
how to do it for the csh.  The equivalent of read is $<, but
that reads from the standard input of the entire while loop,
so the redirect is no good (see note in next para).

The old equivalent was gets, (which wasn't a builtin), but even that
is no good, since the csh does not allow you to redirect the input
for a 'here' document, unlike the bourne shell.  Hence the
convolutions posted here to accomplish the required task.
