Or you might have cut and paste the commands from a script to test
something, or to redo something by hand that failed for some reason.
Cut & Paste?
Most of us couldn't do that until the very late 1980's at earliest!
The poor man's cut&paste was to do something like 'sed -n 3,9p script |
sh', but I don't think I ever did that with csh in the days when a
'#'
comment was for scripts only, so I don't know if old csh treated a pipe
on stdin as a script or not.
