Does anybody know how to save and name pipes and commands in the Utilities  
sub-menu in Edit?  This is a great feature, but I have searched in vain  
for documentation in the User's Guide and online docs.  

A related question ... how do you set Edit to default to the C-shell  
instead of the Bourne shell when executing piped instructions?  I need to  
provide a path for the pipe to search, and again, the documentation is no  
help.

Thanks for replying via email or posting.  I'll summarize if I get enough  
info.

edit ~/.commanddict ~/.pipedict and ~/.editdict for commands, pipes and the
expansion dictionary.

how about 
menu_entry      csh script_name
in .pipedict

or putting
#! /bin/csh 
at the top of your script
