put the following line in your .cshrc, or in .aliases if that is where
aliases are defined:
alias x 'cd \!* ; ls'
the command x will now do what you want. Alternatively, you can make a
file doit, and make the alias:
alias x 'source ~username/bin/doit'
doit contains csh commands, not sh. The above assumes that username is
your user name (substitute as necessary) and that you put the file in a
subdirectory bin.
doit looks like:
cd $1
ls
