This works correctly under the csh, but gives the error you indicate when
run under the borne shell, so you are probably not running it under the 
csh (even though you call it from the csh prompt).

To ensure that the csh is used to process it, add the following to the
beginning of the file:

#!/bin/csh

I believe the # must be in column 1.  Note that this will not work when
the user is using the borne shell as his command interpreter on most non-BSD 
based systems.
