$DA01 is your first data area.  $DA00 is the control file area
which is $AIPS_ROOT/DA00/LOCALHOST/ in this case.

I suspect because of the DADEVS.LIST problem, the 2 basic setup programs 
FILAIP and POPSGN did not run.

source $AIPS_ROOT/LOGIN.CSH
$CDTST
RUN FILAIP
8 2

RUN POPSGN
0 POPSDAT TST

and another carriage return when it gives you the > prompt.
