	This refers to Steven Bellovin's message about /etc/delivermail's
mapping '^' into '!' for the benefit of csh-ers.
	I doubt it's for us because ^ is also a csh special symbol,
connected with history.
% helppz
helppz: not found
% ^ppz^p^
help
 .....(help command executed here)

(Actually, '!' and '^' are only the default csh history characters--
if you % set histchars = ",#"
they would become ',' and '#', respectively.)
