Here is the session example:
Script started on Thu Jun 6 23:45:07 1991
phil at ux1:/cso/staff/phil 1> set test = one
phil at ux1:/cso/staff/phil 2> set test2 = two
phil at ux1:/cso/staff/phil 3> echo ${test}
one
phil at ux1:/cso/staff/phil 4> echo ${test2}
Variable syntax.
phil at ux1:/cso/staff/phil 5> exit
phil at ux1:/cso/staff/phil 6>
script done on Thu Jun 6 23:45:45 1991
I cannot find anywhere in the man pages (I did look) where it says that
digits cannot be used in variable names when the ${name} form is used.
System is a Sequent Symmetry. Version gives:
DYNIX(R) V3.0.17.7 Wed Oct 18 13:31:22 PDT 1989
I have seen before where things like csh have little bugs here or there
that are different from vendor to vendor. Are the vendors getting into
the code and changing stuff?
