I would suggest to not do this.  Bash has most of the features that tcsh 
has (like completion and history), and the DJGPP port is IMHO excellent.  
Being a new to programming, you will have an *extremely* steep learning 
curve to wrestle with before you could understand what the heck is the 
tcsh code about and how do you express it in DOS/Windows.
