running a shell's command from another shell can be done using SHELLEXE -c 'cmd'.

so to execute a zsh command in tcsh use

Code:
zsh -c 'ls' # or whatever command.

Note: not tested..

i have the following to add

Code:
watch=notme

It is not possible to use "zsh" to set parameters in the "tcsh" environment.

BTW. Those parameters are "watch" parameters and they only apply to "zsh". Even if you managed to set them in .cshrc using "tcsh" commands they would have no effect.
