read

[Laxmi Prasad Musunur]

Jim:
read() is a system call not a unix command. e.g. If you write a
c-program involving read it would work.

p.s. If you can not run a command from your shell, then you cant run
     it in a shell script either!

I am writing a unix shell script which many prompts
involve echoing statements and reading answers.  However,
when I run this program I get a read: Command not found.
Why is it not recognizing read?  I thought this was a standard 
unix command.
