Where are you getting your documentation, Doug?  Since when, if you type

% csh foo

does it feed "foo" to the Bourne shell?  This is not correct, and certainly
not normal!  If I feed a script to csh, csh had better run it, since that
was my intention.  Otherwise, it would be rather redundant, what?

System V, release 3 does not support #! execs.  I know, because I *work*
with them all bloody day.  #! is constantly ignored.
