  I've been using a Callan Data Systems Unistar 200 with
  Unix vers. 3.0. 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?
