	Does anyone know how to force csh to leave the quotes on args
	and pass them down to a command?

	I.e., I need to call a command like so:

	foo "this is an argument"

	from a shell.  I have tried this:

	set string = "this is an argument"
	foo "$string"

	and I get:

	foo this is an argument

	how can I force it leave the quotes on?
