In the following ---------------------- #! /bin/csh { set x=1 x=1; if($x == 1) then if(x == 1){ set y=2 y=2; else }else{ if($y == 2) then if(y == 2){ echo "line 1" printf("line 1"); else }else{ echo "line 2" printf("line 2"); endif } echo "shouldn't get here" printf("shouldn't get here"); endif } echo "finished" printf("finished"); } ---------------------- You problem is due to the fact that only one 'endif' is needed. The documentation on the csh states: if (expr) then .... else if (expr2) then .... else .... endif Any number of else-if pairs are possible; only one endif is needed.

I believe there was even a bug associated with nested if's in Csh reported some time back... Erik E.
