/bin/tcsh IS in base, but /bin/csh IS /bin/tcsh (Hard linked). FreeBSD
dropped its old csh for tcsh about seven years ago. V4.3, I think.
% ls -l /bin/*csh
-r-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  293060 May 23 20:43 /bin/csh
-r-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  293060 May 23 20:43 /bin/tcsh

So /bin/csh (or /bin/tcsh) gives you full command editing and completion
capability and all the other interactive tcsh goodies.
