given the following in a csh:

set tmp1_dir = ( ab cd ef gh )
set tmp2_dir = ( ij kl mn op )

set tmps = ( tmp1 tmp2 )

foreach tmp ( $tmps )

  set tmp_dir = "$tmp"_dir
  echo $tmp_dir

  ** this gives me tmp1 and tmp2, I want to get the
     contents of both, ie $($tmp_dir) but for the life
     of me cannot figure out how to do the double expansion.

Any help would be very appreciated,
E-mail would be better, but I can't be picky.

TIA,

i think this is a situation for the eval builtin. eval tells the shell
to re-evaluate it's argument and parse it (including explansions) all
over again...
