Look at Peter's email again. Nevermind, I'll quote him: "enclose a
command in backticks (`)".

In other words, don't use single quotes -- use the key that may be on the
left side of your keyboard that also has a tilde on it.

% set month = `date +%m`
% echo $month
01

Good luck in your csh ... ksh adventures.
