It works on my SunOS box using bash. I can set an alias to the command-line for launching my script without moving it into any special directories, and yes, I am much more familiar with Windows than any flavor of UNIX, so I'm aware that I might not be following best practices, but that's not the point. I'm not completely sure you didn't get my point, however. >BTW, out here in the real world (that would be UNIX), <snip> > Beyond being rude and immature, this is off-topic.
