Grex Info Item 152: If I don't feel like learning to do this in picospan
Entered by kaplan on Wed Jun 8 07:52:16 UTC 1994:

I understand that aliases defined in .cshrc don't always work as !
commands in picospan.  It should be really simple (for someone who knows
the syntax better than I do) to write a program which takes the aliases in
a .cshrc and creates define unix commands in .cfonce.  Has this been done?

The RealFast (tm) work-around for that is to  !csh  first, then
use the alias. 
 
I should know (but don't) whether or not those two actions can
be issued from a single line, and how to do so. 
  
Currently I allow the csh prompt to appear before issuingthe aliased
command.

Re #0:  No, I don't know that it's been done.
Re #1:  Hmm.  I would expect "csh -c alias" to work, but it doesn't.
