I am writing a script am am trying to prompt for input and make sure all
of the values are entered. I have the following test condition in my
script but when I run it I get:

[: -z: unexpected operator

==============
while [ -z $tor1a -o -z $tor1b -o -z $tor1c -o -z $tor1d ]
do
        read -p "Enter the atom numbers of the first torsion: " tor1a
	tor1b tor1c tor1d
done
==============

What do I have wrong?

Thanks.
