Aha. Figured it out. While "-f", "-t", and "-s" are all options that should be started with a "-", "i" is a command, and should not be. Here
is one of my scripts to import a text file:

#!/bin/bash

export SBBSCTRL=/sbbs/ctrl

/sbbs/exec/smbutil i/sbbs/text/phar_ad.asc /sbbs/data/subs/dove-ads.shd
< /sbbs/mods/hdr/phar_ad.hdr

Take out the hyphen before "i" as well as the space, and you should be good to go.

That was it!! I thought I copied over exactly how I have it on the 'Doze box... <shaking head> But I am getting better making up these bash scripts... ;)

Also, I believe you can use regular spacing as long as you use
quotes (ie: -s"BinkD Daily Graph").

Done. Once I get the other stuff working hopefull that will take care
of the _ issue.

Also, as you can see above, I use a header to fill in the option
fields. The "phar_ad.hdr" only contains three lines:

I did that in the beginning as well but probably because of the '-' in front of the i it was giving me trouble so I went the long way. It works... so I had to type a few more keystrokes.. lol!!

So you don't need to add that to the command line if you do something
like what I do above. That's completely optional, though.

Yup... one thing I had to do is change permissons on the 1generals.* files in the sub but as I said, it's working... and all is good in Mudville...

Thanks so much Nick!!
