Paula, that mob is having you on. If they know even the most basics of Unix shell scripting, they should be using the comment convention as the first line of any of their scripts. As in: #!/bin/csh to make their code run in the C-shell NO MATTER what your shell might be. If they don't do that and expect you to use their shell, get on to them quick and as heavy as you can. That's just unacceptable in this day and age. I used the bourne shell for scripting almost exclusively until very recently. I'm now using Korn shell, even in Linux where it is not installed by default and bash seems the way to go.
