This is a feature.  It's called Job Control.  Not all
C-Shell's have it.

Sure is.  Use "fg" to resume in the foreground, and "bg" to continue in the
background.  You may also use "jobs" to get a list of stopped jobs.

Fg/bg also take an arguement to them.  Use "fg %1" to bring job #1 to the
foreground.  See the manual in fg(1csh), bg(1csh), jobs(1csh), and
csh(1csh) for more information.
