Another thing to think about is newline format.
BBEdit will save your file with macintosh newlines, unless you specifically
tell it not to. Newer version of pico quietly discard PC/Mac newlines as
you open a file, so I bet that's what happened. The ISP guy opened your
Mac formatted text script in pico, saved it, and it worked - only because
it was then converted to unix newlines.
