foreach i (list)
	
	echo $i
	more script
	   |
	   |
	   |
	   V

end

where i is any variable name
  and list is a list of values to be given to i for each iteration
      through the foreach loop.  A continue statement in the loop 
      causes an unconditional branch to the end statment (to start
      the next iteration of the loop); a break statement in the loop
      causes an unconditional branch to the first statement following
      end (terminating the loop).  List can be constructed by executing
      a csh command, such as `cat file` or `ls xxxxx` where file contains 
      the list of variables to be given to i, or xxxxx is a directory name
      or a list of filenames.

The possibilities are endless.
