I don't see what C has to do with tcsh, but maybe you mean that there is already a bunch of tcsh scripts, and want to extend the functionality, so you want to stick with tcsh.
I personally would even in this case write new features in Zsh or bash or some other suitable language (Ruby, Python, Perl), but of course this is everyone's personal taste. If you really want to continue with tcsh, I fear there is not much alternative, and you will have to spend a day or so going through the tutorial and at least part of the man-page.
If you really need help here, you need to ask a concrete question. The way you asked, is to broad. With which tcsh statement do you have a problem? You could for instance post a statement in bash and ask how to express something similar in tcsh.
Still then, it's not sure that you will get much response, because tcsh is so rarely used. Maybe there are some dedicated tcsh forums around?
