How to zero out a file in tcsh?

[ken at kg293.net (Ken Gosier)]

Question: I know that I can zero out a currently existing file in ksh and
bash by typing

> filename

which will make filename have zero size. (Assuming noclobber is not
set.) Is there a similar construct in tcsh? When I try it I get 'invalid
null command.' I know I can do, for instance

echo -n < /dev/null > filename

Just curious, since we standardize on tcsh at work. Many thanks for any
help--
