   Thanx

Csh doesn't come with any built in way but its pretty trivial to add.
Put the following code in your .cshrc file:

if ( $?cshlevel == 0 ) then
    setenv cshlevel 1
else
    setenv cshlevel `expr $cshlevel + 1`
endif

This checks to see if cshlevel is set.  If not it sets it to one.  If
it is set then it is incremented by one.
