setting an alias in .cshrc with parentheses in it ...

Hello,
I often run this command:
lynx -useragent "blah blah (compatible; MSIE blah
blah)"
Note that the custom referrer string that I set
includes parentheses.
So, to save time, I added this line to my .cshrc:
alias lynx lynx -useragent "blah blah (compatible;
MSIE blah blah)"
However, when I run lynx, I get this error:
Badly placed ()'s
If I escape the parentheses with a backslash in
.cshrc, it also doesn't work - it splits the line up
and lynx thinks that the next command line argument
begins where the first backslash is inserted.
So how do I include a command alias that contains
parentheses into .cshrc ?
thanks.
