Is there supposed to be an easy way to fork off a command seq like

foreach i (*.c)
send $i
end

In the old shell, one could use parens around it and follow by a '&'.
This won't work with csh because the () must be on the same line apparently,
and foreach requires the lines to be separate.  If this is trivial, forgive
my ignorance.  I am tired of having to mess around to do simple things.
