help w/ tcsh (sol9) - read user input

hello...

printf doesn't seem to work with /bin/sh on my
solaris9 box. i tried it from the command line in tcsh
and that worked. so for a tcsh script, how then do i
read in user input? usually i use /bin/sh and do this:

input_script:
- - - - - -
#! /bin/sh
echo "helo:"
read AA
echo $AA
- - - - - - -

> input_script
helo:
asdfasdf
asdfasdf

but if i switch #! /bin/sh to #! /bin/tcsh:

> input_script
helo:
aasdasdf
AA: Undefined variable.

this is probably trivial, but i started to read the
man page for tcsh and haven't come across the answer
yet.

thanks...
