Date: 4 May 1996 18:51:50 GMT Organization: Aimnet Information Services Lines: 21 Message-ID: <4mg906$ghv@news.aimnet.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: shell1.aimnet.com X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 950621BETA PL0] Hello: I am trying to create small executable files. For example something like elm -s trh $1 < $1 After typing it into a file and issuing comand chmod +x on that file I expect it to work with a parameter I supply in lieu of '$1'. It does not work on a new account that is running BSD. It does run on SunOS, AIX etc. I get the error message 'comand not found'. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Al
