Does anyone know why the following shell code snippet for the csh keeps giving
me a "@: Expression syntax" error message? Code follows:

foreach record (`cat somefile`) # `somefile' contains simple ascii records. one number
                                # to a line.
  @ ybacc = $ybacc + ((($record - $bave) * ($record - $bave))/$bcount)
end

All the above variables are simple integer variables that have been previously
calculated. 

Any help would be most welcome. Thanks much.
