| OK, fine. I did all that but the file still doesn't run. I get an error

The first line of the script reads

#!/bin/csh -f

which means it should be executed using the C-shell.
ksh doesn't evaluate #! on the first line, so you will have to do
so manually:

  csh -f fingerinfo

should do the job.
Hint: save the program in, say, fingerinfo.csh in your ~/bin directory
and put the one-liner
  csh -f ~/bin/fingerinfo.csh
as "fingerinfo" (with execute permission set) in your ~/bin too.
(Provided ~/bin is included in your PATH= statement in your .profile)
