Hello,

I`m trying to set up my ~/.login file so that is the HOSTTYPE variable is set
to "sun3" AND if the TERM variable is set to "sun" (My quotes, both times)
then it should run the alias "X11".

What I tried is:

	if ( ($HOSTTYPE)=sun3 && ($TERM)=sun ) X11

When .login saw this, it did nothing.  When I typed it in a the tcsh prompt
I got the message "if: Expression syntax."  My obvious question, then, is
what is the syntax of the if test expression in (t)csh?

Thanx for any replies!
