A simple C-shell query.

Here is a C-shell query:

Assuming I want to modify or define few environment variables in csh.
I create a script file and run that file. Unfortunately, when I run a
file, it spawns a shell, and when it completes execution, it
terminates the spawned shell. As a result, modification of all
environment variables disappears when the shell terminated. Is there
any way to do this without using the "source" command, to
modify/define environment variables that apply to the present shell.

You might get an idea, if I tell you its application. I have TeX
compiled under SunOS. I do not to define all the environment variables
(variables set using setenv) for all users, only those who want to use
tex, by enter, say, "use tex", where "use" is a C-shell script which
takes "tex" as its parameter. Having a general script like this will
permit "use" to be as generic as possible.

Any pointers? I'll appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
