Try this:

#! /bin/csh -f

foreach file ($argv[1-])
        echo ""
        if (! -e $file) then
                echo $file does not exist
                continue
        endif
        echo "$file"
        set islink
        while ($?islink)
                set listing=`ls -ld $file`
                echo $listing | grep -s ^lrwx
                if ($status) then
                        unset islink
                else
                        set file=`echo $listing | awk '{print $NF}'`
                        echo " -> $file"
                endif
        end
end
echo ""
