C shell script portability suggestion

Sorry, but using:
	#! /bin/csh -f
as the first line of shell script is *NOT* portable.  This feature did not
exist in standard V7, although 2.8 BSD (for 11's) does have it.  Furthermore,
in 2.8, flags cannot be passed, so the "-f" above causes an error (the
kernel looks for "/bin/csh -f").
