simple script problem

HI all

I'm having another (what must be) simple problem;
I am attempting my first grads script (.gs) and I can't
seem to get the script to interpret my alphanumeric
assignments.

What I am trying to do is run a plot 9 times- the binary
file has 9 times of day in it (ignore the commented out statements)...
I simply want to write a title for each one and create a postscript
output file with a unique name indicating what the plot is.

Can someone tell me what is wrong- again, the documentation on scripts
has nothing like what I am trying to do.

Thanks folks!
