Frank,
Since you're getting into shell programming beyond the very basics I
would recommend using a more "able" shell like ksh or bash for your
programming or learning a scripting language like perl, ruby or
python.
For instance, in ksh to do arithmetic comparisons you use the (( )) syntax:
if (( VAR1 <=3D VAR2))
then
print VAR1 $VAR1 is less than VAR2 $VAR2
