I have discovered, after a lot of puzzlement, that for example
@ t1 = 3 * 4
gets a syntax error from csh because no digits are allowed in varible names in
this command. Thus
set t1 = 9 is OK, but
@ t1 = 9 is not.
Variable names with digits on the RHS are OK e.g.
@ tt = $t1 + $t2 is OK.
Apparently a bug in the line parsing routines.
