First you said you were using isql; next, you said you were using an
interactive statement processor. Which is it?

The sample you supplied originally (with the missing SEMI-COLON terminator
on the statement within the trigger defnition was a script, i.e. multiple
statements.

Be assured, you need the semi-colon as the terminator for statements inside
stored procedure definitions. PSQL statements inside a trigger or
procedure definition MUST use semi-colon terminators.

The purpose of SET TERM is to set an alternative terminator for the CREATE
TRIGGER statement (and for any other DDL statements in the script). When
you are done with defining a PSQL module, you can change the regular
statement terminator back to semicolon if you want to, using another SET
TERM statement.

Search with google for LANGREF.PDF - this is the IB 6 Language Reference
manual. It seems you need it.
