When I run the golded script with the quotes placed as indicated I don't get
the "unexpected operator" response. But... gedlnx doesn't load either.  I am
immediately returned to the terminal prompt.

Now, If I load gedlnx directly (Without the golded script) golded loads and I
am able to create a test netmail (No echomail areas defined yet). An empty
golded.log file is created. I currently have a rather simple config file in
place as this is both a fresh install of Linux (Ubuntu) and Golded on this
spare machine. I also have a fresh install of SBBS also installed.

It should be noted that my prior attempt at installing/compiling Golded+ was
from the source code file gpsrc-115-20161221.tgz. After compiling loading
gedlnx did nothing. This time I compiled Golded+ using the gpl115-20161221.zip
file created by the running of the dist-gpl.sh script. Now, Golded+ actually
loads when gedlnx is run directly. In neither case does the running of the 
golded script cause Golded (gedlnx) to load.

I've gotten used to using Golded (Win32) but I prefer running Linux rather 
than Windows.
