  Strangely enough, the command in csh would be, "eval `tset -s
-Q...`".  The man page for csh claims that the eval command for csh is
"as in sh(1)."

  One additional note, in response to the post to which Valerie was
responding: The commands output by tset are not supposed to be
magically executed by the shell in some way.  They are *supposed* to
be evaluated by the user, either by saving them to a file and sourcing
it, or by the more efficient method of using eval.
