Hi,

When I run the following c-shell program:

#!/bin/csh
foreach digit1 ( 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 )
     echo $digit1
end


I get the error message :

       foreach: Invalid variable.


We are running HP-UX 6.21 and c-shell variables are permitted to consist
of digits.

Is this a bug with foreach and if so is it fixed in 6.5 or 7.0  ?

     Andy
