You're freaky =) Doesn't bash suffice?
Well, I've got a book that covers the C-shell, i might read that one day and write a tut...
Ok, So I add that C-Shell tut to my list....
But really... Why learn yet another shell? There are many better scripting languages, ie. Perl, Ruby, Python

I think tcsh (the Linux version) is better than bash. It doesn't leave those history-files (which I personally dislike). What do you want to know about it? It's a shell. You can use it as you use bash. I use it as login-shell. The scripting-syntax is a bit different (I think you don't use this fi-things. It's very C-like.)
Why don't you start with the manpage?
imho it's the first one should do when using some "unknow" porgram.
man tcsh

I haven't asked if it is better or what it can do ... I just asked for a little tutorial as a intro to the C-Shell

I happen to like tcsh a lot. If you're still using the old csh, switch.
Drop me a line or two once you get back to Linux, perhaps revive this thread - there are all sorts of cool things I'm finding out about.
For example, I've set up my shell to display the time and hostname on the right side of the screen, using rprompt. It's in color so I can see the distinctions between lines.
Programmable autocomplete is really nice, too. I find it much more intuitive than bash's complete function, and I've set it up to not only complete filenames for commonly-used commands but also the options for some commands I can't be bothered to -help all the time. =)
One quirk of tcsh is that you can't redirect standard err independently of stdout, but there's a workaround for that - do it in a subshell.
Occasionally I miss bash scripts, as I came from using bash for a long while. It's relatively easy to look up the equivalent structures in the tcsh manpages, and if I'm really annoyed, bash is just a short command away. Bash scripts still run, naturally, as long as I specify #!/bin/bash
Pretty nice. I like tcsh more than bash, and use it on almost all the machines I have accounts on. =)

Kagez is away for a very long time unfortunatelly But maybe you can write a tutorial about those shells since I figure quite a lot of people would be intrested (including me )
