You are running csh or tcsh.  Try

    cd $AIPS_ROOT   (or cd to the root area anyway)

then

    source LOGIN.CSH

The .SH version is for folks running bash.  Then the command

aips

or

 AIPS

should start aips.  There seems to be a case problem in Macs so that
we cannot make two symbols "aips" and "AIPS" both pointing at
$AIPS_ROOT/START_AIPS.  Thus, at the making of the link file, case
does not matter.  But when the user types the command aips or AIPS
case does matter.  Sigh....  the remains of the Microsoft immitations
in Apple still get us some.
