Hi,
I have written small csh script file which takes a filename as an argument, 
modifies the file, and writes it back over the input file.
Now I want to write a small dos command batch file to call the cshell, and 
execute the script file, but I'm stuck on how to pass the filename to the 
script itself.
If I execute
tcsh -c scriptfile inputfile
tcsh uses inputfile as an argument to itself, not as an argument to the 
script.
So if I run this command, I get a useage error from the script as it expects 
a filename ?
