I'm using bash 4.7 by the way. First they do not seem to be executable. However, they do run some of the time. I think if I look at them with less after that the system seems to know what they are. Second I thought that these were a wee bit like .bat files once the header was set up all you needed on the second etc. lines was:- my_prog my_data however, it can not find my_prog which is in ~/bin. I've got a book on bash but it gives lots of more complicated examples and I seem to be missing out on the really basic stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards Ian.
