|of course if you want something to work in .login (i.e., csh):
|
|        echo -n "Read news[y|n] "
|        set c=($<)
|        if ( $c != n ) then
|                rn
|        else
|                ...
|        endif

This does not work for me in my .profile file.  I get an error at the
first line.  BTW, my login shell is bash.  Does this script not work
with bash, or I am doing something wrong.

I would appreciate any help!!

thanks..
