Works here. Let me see if I have a " " in the script otherwise I am sending
a space out "stdout".
Well you were RIGHT! I just coppied what I was told without even thinking
But NOW I that I turned it on, I get hundreds of "martian source" errors!
Guess that means it is "working????". I will have to wait until tonight

Thanks
