You didn't really fail to recognise the '%' as a c-shell prompt, did you? You didn't type "daily % grep find *" instead of "grep find *", did you? You weren't really expecting the 'find' command to be there were you? If the answer to ANY one of the aboce was yes, then you need to get yourself some basic books on Unix.
