With csh, who knows? I take it that you are trying to print out the
numbers of pages containing certain words, so you want to do something
like the following:
if test "X$1" = X
then echo Usage: $0 file
exit 2
fi
pagelen=48 # page length
echo REGISTER
echo ''
while read word
do awk "/$word/ {print \"$word\", int(NR / $pagelen)}" $1
done < words
Run this with the shell, not csh.
