1. csh: if-then-else-endif in csh alias?

: I am converting some Korn Shell scripts to Csh.

Leave them in ksh.  Especially if they work.

: The Korn Shell scripts have some simple shell functions that use
: if-then-else-fi control structures in them. Is there no way to do
: this with a Csh alias? I know that you can do plain one-line if
: constructs in a Csh alias, but the bug in the pudding comes when
: I try to do the then-else-endif.

That's because you can't do one-line if-then-else-endif constructs in
csh.  You just can't.  It's impossible.  Same goes for foreaches.

Don't write shell scripts in csh.  It's broken.  Really.  It should've
never gotten out in the first place.  There's a detailed FAQ.
