I come to the conclusion that there's no intuitive solution in a tcsh script for set foo='-f "a "' My unix knowledge tells me the following should work: set foo="-f\ \"a\ \ \"" but tcsh does not allow these escape sequences; the backslashes become real backslashes and an error occurs on too many quotes. Another odd behaviour occurs when I say: set foo="a b c" which tcsh reduces to "a b c", despite the quotes. I'd say very un-unix like behaviours....
