% Hi

Hello!


% 
% I've got a problem with the read function in bash 2.05a-3.
...
% bash$ read proj
% /temp
% bash$ cd $proj
% : No such file or directory
...
% When testing or trying to change directories using $proj it fails. When
% using the literal values it passes. It appears that the read function does

One thing you never did was ... Check to see if $proj got filled!  What
does

  echo $proj

say?

On my Win98 1.3.10 system, $proj properly gets filled and shows when
echoed and works for cd.  How about you?
