yeah.... are you actually running the c-shell as a login shell, or are
you in the Bourne Again (bash) or Korne (ksh) instead?

Is your shell script actually scripting language or a C program? I
just as many people think that they can use the C-shell as a C
interpreter and try to run C programs without compilation (can it be
done? I'm happy to be proved wrong!!)

Secondly, if you definitely want your script to execute in a c shell,
put the following in the first line:

#! /bin/csh

The #! specifies which shell the script should run in, the /bin/csh
is the path to the c shell (use the command "which csh" to find out
where yours is, it may be /usr/bin/csh etc).

Lastly: avoid calling your program SCRIPT or TEST - these are two
of the most common names used and are also reserved
keywords. I have made the same mistake myself many times!!

Also: is the script file located somewhere in your path? You
haven't placed the file somewhere where off the search path, have
you? Try "echo $PATH" and see if you've placed it in any of the
listed locations.
