Example--A request Script That Walks a Relative Parametric Path

# request script
for SUNWstuf to walk a parametric path

MSG="The target directory $LOCAL_BASE already contains \
different architecture or version of $PKG. This package \
could be installed at the unused target directory $WRKNG_BASE."

PROMPT="Do you want to use to the proposed directory? "

HELP="A response of \"y\" will install to the proposed directory \
and continue, \"n\" will request a different directory. If \
the option \"-a none\" was used, press the <RETURN> key and \
enter an unused base directory when it is requested."

DIRHELP="The package $PKG will be installed at the location entered."

SUSPEND="Suspending installation at user request using error \
code 1."

sure to update any applicable search paths with the actual \
location of the binaries which are at $WRKNG_BASE/EZstuf \
and $WRKNG_BASE/HRDstuf."
