Guess what!  I made an error in my last posting (it always happens - no
doubt this one will have a problem as well.)  It seems that the !-1:q
should in fact be !-2:q.  That's what I get for making last-minute
improvements to things that used to work (and for using csh).
Also, I have discovered that if you stop your editor session, the csh
forgets about sourcing the rest of the file.  It looks like this may
work better by simply making the alias be:

alias ec 'all_the_commands_in_the_script'

which is what I had before, and it worked (using !-1:q).

If AT&T would release ksh I wouldn't have to worry about this (hint hint).
As it is, I will probably end up writing my own shell.
