Thanks Billy,
For this bit of info. The shabang thing mentioned
before is, I'm guessing, !/bin/sh or !/bin/bash line
at the top of the file telling the command what script
type to run. What a nickname. It's like acronyms, If
you don't already know what it means then you don't
know what it means. I'm slow but getting there, I
think.
Thanks again for you help.
