The problem is propbably just that tcsh is swolowing the Esc keys becuase
they are bind'd to something that won't allow them through (like 'prefix-meta')
so maybe if you did:
bind self-insert-command Esc
alias label 'echo -n "^[]l\!*^[\"'
bind prefix-meta Esc
(or, in the last line, replace "prefix-meta" with what your Esc key is
bound to)
This might work, just a guess. Let me know how it goes...
