This is, as someone I know would say, something else that's wrong with csh.
(Right Paul? Of course any shell he'd write wouldn't have that problem :-))
The problem with a simple .* is that "." and ".." also qualify as .*'s,
and as you know, they stand for your current and parent directories.

Sure - try :
ls .[A-z]*
This should find most of the files you want. The only problems with this
are if you have directories that begin with a "." (i.e .NeXT), and files
that for some reason are outside the range of A-z and that you would like
to list.
