Amigans, rejoice!

There is a version of Matt's csh on Fish 145 that does this. It was
modified by Johan Widen from the 2.07 original to have this backtick
argument execution and to have file name completion. (yeah!!). It requires
ARP 1.1 to run.

I'm just waiting for the << operator. It is the only obstacle left
against unsharing real Unix shars on the Amiga. (Amiga sed is 
on Fish 128 and wc is on Fish 69... anything else needed?)
