How do I make an csh script with a command as variable.

example:

the programm name is hp

in the prompt i type hp 12345

now there must be a new directory 12345 in folder /home/user with the mkdir command.

12345 is the variable. The programm must work on each number of 5 digits.

#!/bin/sh

cd /home/jan
mkdir $1

You can check the directory is there in the korn shell with:
