I keep reading about making sh scripts executable with #!/bin/sh on the first line and chmod to executable. That works with all my system scripts (rc, etc.) or my system would be DOA, no doubt. When I do it in my home folder, however, running <script> gives "command not found". I've only read about 5 sites telling you how to make shell scripts executable, they all say the same thing, and they all don't work. How did I get to be so special? Steve
