subject: Error attempting to run `between` script

RC>> I wondered if that might  be at least part of the issue but
 RC>> haven't found where that might be set.  (Perhaps I don't have the
 RC>> right 'User level' setting?)

 ml> what are the permissions on the files? what user is IREX running as?

 RW> It should work even for the lowest User Level, as it is a batch
 RW> file that can be executed while an event is in progress...

not on linux (or even modern winwhatever)... it is entirely possible that
the user that IREX is running as doesn't even have access to the
directory... but that means that IREX wouldn't run, either... so we look
closer and it is possible that the user doesn't have access to the between
script because it was written by another user and the permissions only
allow that originator to even see it... then, on linux, there's also an
executable bit in the permissions... one user may be able to see and edit a
script but not execute it... *nix doesn't use extensions or file majik to
determine if a file is executable... they use the bit and it is set for
each of owner, group, and/or everyone...
