[gradsusr] if else statement with string arguments

[Tracey]

Hi Jeff,

The input string is being read into the script correctly, as I've put a "say
region" into the script right before the if statement and it is correctly
outputting "conus."  So it seems to be the actual if statement that is not
working for some reason.

Thanks,
Tracey
