Your script looks to be munged in some way: it appears to be a combination
of Unix shell scripting (e.g., #!/bin/sh -f) and McIDAS BATCH script
(e.g., SF 1, etc.) syntax.  Please let me know if the script that I
received below was the complete one you meant to send.  If it is, it
will need some restructuring to work.

Tom,

re: your script is a mixture of Unix shell script and McIDAS BATCH

I thought I needed the stuff at the beginning for it to work? How should
it go?
