I finally have it working now. I have the Documents directory in the path that bash searches for executable files in my .profile now. The problem was being caused by the -s in the .scm file in the line that tells bash where to get the file to execute the .scm file. I noticed that it looked like --s only a sloid line. I deleted that and added -s.
Now once I make a .scm file executable, I can type in the name of the file on the bash command line and bash passes the path of that file to the guile program which executes it.
