   Well, all I added was the actual file it was looking for... either way, it   
   still doesn't work

   I've added the above statement to the ../pi/.profile and created a file   
   ../pi/.bash_profile and still no luck.  I also have those statements in the   
   root /etc/profile.   
      
    JS> And regarding the BASH statement that you are using. Here I simply use   
    JS> "#!/bin/bash" as the first line of a bash script.   
      
   I changed that...   
      
   the script I created is named "inmail.sh".  With that being said I would have   
   thought the ../pi/.profile would have worked but I added both none the less.    
   My concern is when I run ./sbbsecho at a command prompt   
   "pi@raspberry:~/sbbs/exec" it works fine... yet, when I try and start the bbs   
   with "./sbbs", it won't start unless I put the path and sbbs.ini filename also.   
   Some see the ctrl directory, some don't. :(   
      
      
      
   This almost has me bald... lol!!
