   This is as good a place as any. There is also the BASH and TUXPOWER areas   
   although they are low traffic.

   Something like the ability to "call" another bat file in DOS and then the   
   calling bat file continues with what it was doing?   
      
   I am sure there is a way to do that in bash also but even after all these   
   years my bash skills are less than what they could/should be.

   I sometimes do a test for certain files and if found the script will do that   
   with an "if", like this..   
      
   if [ -f /usr/local/fido/dotic.now ]; then   
      rm /usr/local/fido/dotic.now   
      /usr/local/bin/htick toss   
      /usr/local/bin/mfreq-index   
   fi   
      
   Then the script carries on with what it is doing.
