[gradsusr] help with script

[Jeff Duda]

I don't know about line 4, per se, but this command has a syntax error in
it:

      ‘set vpage' left rt  bot tp

You cut the command off too early and need to fill in the spaces between
the arguments. A proper version is:
      ‘set vpage 'left' 'rt' 'bot' 'tp

See if that removes the error.
