I am the reverse of this - I use 'sh' all the time and write scripts in'sh'
as a result.

I use Mac as a vt100 terminal (Scott Watson's Red Ryder does the emulation)
with a mouse that lets me take any command or output and make a copy,
screen edit it, send it again, even run it thru a Greo-Wc desk Accessory...

My question - it is a historical fluke that I use 'sh' rather than 'csh'.
Given that I have my local versions of aliases and history what can I gain
from switching to 'csh'?

Note - 'ksh' we don't have in PDP land.
