  Sure do, but the standard shell doesn't support '|' for making a
pipe.  However, there's an excellent "port" of csh which does("port"
because it's not strictly compatible with the Unix csh) as well as a
port of ksh(which IS strictly compatible with the Unix ksh/sh.  I've
used it for Unix sh scripts often)  Both of those support '|' and lots
of other good things.
