No, that's not the problem here - I have my chat script in a file and
that very same chat script works just fine with chat if I *don't run
it from slattach*.  When run from slattach, chat blows up when it
first tries to talk to the port.  I don't know what's wrong, but
slattach clearly isn't setting up things correctly before invoking the
external script.  I tried for quite a few days to get this to work
and finally gave up in disgust.
