Shell variables
Shell variables are not propagated across machines. When you set a shell variable
locally, then run a command remotely, the remote shell will not see that shell
variable. Only environment variables are automatically propagated.
fg command
The fg command for remote jobs must use @, as shown by examples in Task Control
on page 742.
tcsh version
lstcsh is based on tcsh 6.03 (7 bit mode). It does not support the new features of
the latest
tcsh.
Starting lstcsh

and aliases.
