eshell: Syntax for loops and conditionals?

[Kai Großjohann]

I just typed the following (line breaks for posting only):

find . -name CVS/Root -print | \
    while read f ; \
        do echo :pserver:kai@cvshost:/cvsroot > $f; \
    done

eshell was not happy about it.  I decided that the time has come for
me to learn about eshell syntax -- I keep typing stuff at it and it
fails, and I want to be able to do it *right*!

For now I shall say M-x shell RET, I'm afraid.
