   Greetings Alan!

   Im confused at your response, I did not ask what each line of my script does,   
   I was merely looking for help as to why hpt toss isnt running.  I know that   
   binkd doesnt execute hpt, I was saying that binkd correctly runs mail-toss   
   script and I know this because that text file gets created.  However my system   
   for whatever reason doesnt continue on with the script.
