Pleas help..this is driving me crazy

Hi, I've created a script in csh that takes a file and checks it for mispelled words. Im almost done but I need to do two more things but I need help.

First, when displaying an incorrect word to the user, I need to show the line of the input file that contains the word.
Second,if the user gives a replacement word, then I need to actually replace the word in the input file.

heres my code ...........

Code:

#!/bin/csh
#script that will spell check a file

set array = (`ispell -l -p $HOME/memory.txt < $1`)

set correct = ""
set incorrect = ""

foreach word ( $array )
  echo $word is mispelled. Press "enter" to keep this spelling, or type a correction
  set correction=$<
  if($correction == "") then
     echo $word >> "$HOME/memory.txt"
  else
     set correct = ( $correct $correction )
     set incorrect = ( $incorrect $word  )
  endif
end

echo "MISPELLED"'-'"CORRECTIONS"
@ counter = 1
foreach $word ( $correct )
  echo $incorrect[$counter]        $correct[$counter]
   @ counter++
end

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

shift

shift(1)							   User Commands							  shift(1)

NAME

       shift - shell built-in function to traverse either a shell's argument list or a list of field-separated words

SYNOPSIS

   sh
       shift [n]

   csh
       shift [variable]

   ksh
       * shift [n]

DESCRIPTION

   sh
       The positional parameters from $n+1 ... are renamed $1 ... . If n is not given, it is assumed to be 1.

   csh
       The  components of argv, or variable, if supplied, are shifted to the left, discarding the first component. It is an error for the variable
       not to be set or to have a null value.

   ksh
       The positional parameters from $n+1 $n+1 ... are renamed $1 ..., default n is 1. The parameter n can  be  any  arithmetic  expression  that
       evaluates to a non-negative number less than or equal to $#.

       On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:

       1.  Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.

       2.  I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.

       3.  Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.

       4.  Words,  following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari-
	   able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation  are  not
	   performed.
