Not that I know of.  But if it's an interactive script, use

	echo "whatever" >> /dev/tty

Otherwise, I use a little C program like this:

------------------------------------------------------------
/* stderr.c : direct stdin to stderr */
/* off the top of my head; did not compile & run this */

#include<stdio.h>
main() {
register char c;
    while((c=getchar())!=EOF)
	putc(c,stderr);
}
------------------------------------------------------------

Then the shell part says

    echo "whatever" | stderr

If anyone knows how to do this cleanly within csh, I too would like
to know.
