What I would suggest for the user who just wants simple information
from the time command is to put the following line in .cshrc

	set time = (10 "Time taken is %E")

This means that if a process takes more than 10 CPU seconds, you get
the message 

	Time taken is xx:yy

-- This indicates that it took xx mins yy secs of "real" time to
execute the command.)  Other %? things are available - see csh.1 for
more info!
