Does anybody know right offhand if $(command) syntax is a bash-only

It appears to be. Or, at least, tcsh doesn't support it.

Bash:
$ echo $(ls)
courierimaphieracl courierimapkeywords courierimapsubscribed courierimapuiddb cur new tmp
$

tcsh:
/> echo $(ls)
Illegal variable name.
/>

$ tcsh --version
tcsh 6.12.00
