[net.bugs] more on echo

Concerning a background job echoing ^G or something to let you know it's
done:

The Ultrix csh lets you do this but in a different way.  The variable
`notify' is a string instead of a boolean (NULL corresponds to false).
When a job is done, the string you set it to is printed.  So

	set notify = '^G'

will do what you want.  

I don't think this would be hard to add yourself if you have the source
for the csh.
