Paul,
It's just the syntax of the while command in c or tc shell:
while (expression)
command(s)
end
and your suggestion, unfortunately, doesn't work. Plus, I really don't want
to switch to sh shell since our group uses c/tc shell, i.e. I'd rather stick
with the simple script.
So, does anyone have any idea how to do what I want in c/tc shell?
Thanks,
Eric

I know next to nothing about tcsh, but why doesn't something like this:
foo:
command to create $@
while (! -e $@); sleep 5; end
work? If you were using SHELL = sh instead of tcsh, this would be
trivial.
