foreach a ( bar.z* ) "cat >>foo.uue $a"

This appends each file to the file foo.uue, which is not required to exist
before you execute the command. The foreach command is ideally suited to
getting around the 256 char limit on command lines or dealing with commands
that don't take multiple parameters.
