If () command

I found this buggy on the version of csh I used, so I don't use this form
anymore.  Also, I don't think you can use "else" with it.

The only thing I can think of is:-

if () then ; command ; else ; command ; endif

which when I try it does NOT work.

The csh man page says "The words else and endif must be the first nonwhite
characters on a line."  Oh, it also describes the if() command bug mentioned above.
Guess we're SOL!
