Has anyone seen the following problem:

set i = 2
set i1 = 2
@ i = $i + $i
@ i1 = $i1 + $i1

The last line reports '@: Syntax error'.  In the manual, it says that
variables are allowed to be up to 20 numbers or letters as long
as it starts with a letter.  Incidently, the line

@ i = $i1 + $i1

works fine.  It seems that any variable with a number in it, gives
this same problem.  Any csh hackers out there seen this problem?

	Thanks,
		Howard.
