weird csh thing

[Ranjan Bagchi]

anyone care to explain??  (I`m in csh)


$ set p = "w | tail +3 "
$ echo $p
w | tail +3
$ $p
Usage: w [ -hlsuw ] [ user ]
$ w | tail +3
benjo    ttyp3    10:13pm           41      4  -sh 
benjo    ttyp4    10:17pm         3:22      4  -csh 
$ exit
$ exit

Process shell finished


shouldn't "$p" have the same effect as "w | tail +3" ?
