It definitely doesn't work the same way in vanilla SysV, since it doesn't have
"csh".  If a System V system offers the 4BSD "csh", it should work the same
way, although there is no absolute guarantee of this; somebody may have changed
or broken it.  (The same is true of 4BSD-derived systems.  BTW, before anybody
pipes up with this, Sun did *not* change the C shell in recent releases not to
change the "term" shell variable if the "TERM" environment variable is changed,
as has been claimed elsewhere.  That behavior is exhibited by straight 4.3BSD,
and I believe by straight 4.2BSD as well.)
