I'm trying to get a login program to run which essentially asks what kind of terminal you are on. The problem is that I can't seem to get the program to take input from the keyboard. The program segment I'm having trouble with looks like this: . . echo -n "What kind of terminal is this <$ttytype>?" set answer = ($<) . . When the shell gets to the "set answer = ($<)" line I get a "Variable syntax." message and execution of the .login file gets aborted. I have tried all kinds of things to get input from the keyboard but to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? Duane N. More ...!duke!ucf-cs!more -- Duane N. More
