The new version starts off in the middle of a sentence now.  I think you
need to put some of this back ("If you write part of a filename in tcsh,
pressing TAB...").

Not sure why you removed this?  Even if we changed tcsh's default prompt
recently this lists multiple possible prompts.

Eh, I think you should revert this.  The make -C thing is more clunky
for a newbie (if you want to do multiple searches, then doing one cd is
less typing than specifying -C each time).  Also, the first sentence
about subdirectories is rather broken in the new version.  You would
need to make it clear that you replace the argument to -C with a
subdirectory.  I think it's not worth it though to add enough detail to
explain it, and that reverting this is probably simpler for a newbie.
