From the above, it looks like:
	1) mapsh is a 'shar' file (an archive set up as a Bourne Shell script)
	    - and -
	2) your system is trying to use csh to unshar it.

The cause may be that you have SHELL=/bin/csh in your environment
   (do you have a "setenv SHELL /bin/csh" in your .loguin or .cshrc files?)
You can change this in one of 2 ways:
	1) before doing "uuhosts -setup", type "setenv SHELL /bin/sh"
	  - or -
	2) edit /usr/lib/news/mapsh and make sure the first line is:
		4.xBSD, or derivations   : "#! /bin/sh"
		System 5, USG, V7, XENIX : ":"
	These changes force the system to use the Bourne Shell (/bin/sh)
	to unshar the mapsh file.

Hope this helps!  Good luck!
