(VS2) Version 6.0R: csh job control in a shell script

System type, version: (VS2) Version 6.0R
System name: binkley
What's wrong:
The following shell script:
#!/bin/csh -f
zaway &
echo -n "Hit return when you're back: "
set foo = $<
kill -9 %zaway
Produces this when I run it:
binkley% leave
[1] 3983
Hit return when you're back:
%zaway: No such process
Similar behavior results when I use %1.
What should have happened:
Job control should work. I suspect that this has something to do with
the fact that the shell is not interactive, but that really shouldn't
make a difference.

P.S. Don't ask why I'm writing a silly shell script like that -- the
original one did something more interesting; this is just an example.
