:Get tcsh, bash, or zsh.  All have many features beyond csh or sh.  tcsh is
:the most limited superset, because the others try to be supersets of both
:csh and ksh.  Chances are someone else at your site has already installed
:them on their workstations or on a server.

Note that tcsh is the "most limited superset" because unlike bash and
zsh, it's a true superset of csh while the other two focus more on sh
compliance.  If you like csh over sh/ksh, you'll love tcsh.  :)
