Extra newline with bash read?

[Richardson, Anthony]

My shell scripts that use "read" to get user input aren't working.   
 Here's a simple example:

 #!/bin/sh
 echo -n "input a1: "
 read a1
 echo -n "input a2: "
 read a2
 echo "a1 = " $a1
 echo "a2 = " $a2

It doesn't wait for input at "read a2" and a2 doesn't get set.  Is the   
"Enter"
key being read as a <CR/NL> pair?  Is there a fix?

Thanks,
Tony Richardson
