Phooey.  tcsh doesn't seem to have an equivalent.  Gotta switch to zsh
one day, as I hear it has a tcsh compat mode for lowered transition
pain...

But I did find this new one in tcsh:

M^Z (ALT-CTL-Z) to instantly switch back to the last editor you ^Z'd.
So you can bounce back and forth between editor/shell with a
changed-by-one keypress combo.  Cool.
