Without passing the quoted script to bin/sh or some other command

"pwd" or "echo", or perform wildcard expansions, all of which are
built-in shell features and _not_ separate programs (unlike "/bin/ps")?
there is /bin/pwd and /bin/echo ...
Perhaps I should have been more specific, and noted that "pwd" and
"echo" are intrinsic to /bin/sh, although they do not seem to be in tcsh
(which is what you are using). Good catch though!
