Building an awk alias in (t)csh

I would like to make an alias like this:

alias	where	"who | grep \!:1 | awk '{print $6}' -"

which would output the originating host of the user caled for.  I have
tried all kinds of permutations of quote characters, etc, with no luck.  I
ended up making the awk portion into a one-liner script and piping to that
instead.

This command works fine on the command line, but not as an alias.  Can
anybody tell me what I am doing wrong/should do?

Thanks very much,
