            This might need to be  >>! if "noclobber" is set.

For what it's worth, here's another that will do the same thing:

===8<---crash-and-burn-all-above------------
foreach flf ( *.flf)
echo $flf | figlet -f $flf >>! example.file
end
===8<---crash-and-burn-all-above------------

with other embellishments as you wish.  I use this at the
command-line quite often when I want to quickly look at some
fonts to choose one, although in this case I pipe the total
result to less (or more).

Cheers
Tony
