Quick hack for your problem (I don't know if this is the "approved"
method, but it has worked for me):

	# ln /bin/csh /bin/-csh

Then in your shell script,

	...<<do whatever>>
	...<<PATH should include /bin >>
	exec -csh

The shells (both sh and csh) look at the first character of "arg#0",
which login sets especially to "-" for a "login shell". If you are
exec'ing it from a "C" program, no need to do the linking hack. Just
make sure that you fix up "argv[0][1]" to be a "-".
