Thanks for the help.  I managed to google the solution, and it's as Bob 
stated.  The read in the line is considered a subprocess, and the variables 
user and terminal are considered local.  When the process exits, these 
variables loose the contents.  Better solution was to use a tmp file, and 
read the values back from that.  Oh yea, the first line in the script is 
#!/bin/ksh.  

It's interesting that on the RS6000 under AIX, the pipe works fine.  I did 
check the version of ksh loaded on the Linux system and it was current.  
Thanks for the assist!
