Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 6.4R
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	Type a two-word response to the "What DISPLAY are you using [default: none]? "
	query from /usr/athena/lib/init/login

What's wrong:
	The code to validate the response doesn't do it right; a
multiple word response results in this error:

What DISPLAY are you using [default: none]? foo bar
if: Expression syntax.


What should have happened:
	The test should detect multiple word responses and deal properly
with them.  (just using double quotes is not sufficient, as that can
result in trying a setenv DISPLAY foo bar:0


Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	???
