 DM> How about paste the md5 sum of hi.sh here?

 DM> It should look this this:

 DM> root@cvs:~# cat hi.sh
 DM> export HELLO=Hi!
 DM> echo $HELLO
 DM> root@cvs:~# md5sum hi.sh
 DM> f7201385bdb7c523dade158d270014cc hi.sh
 DM> root@cvs:~# source hi.sh
 DM> Hi!

kk4qbn@kk4qbn:~$ cat hi.sh
export HELLO=Hi!

kk4qbn@kk4qbn:~$ md5sum hi.sh
7771bfae728b34ec658674c6cbe2281f  hi.sh
kk4qbn@kk4qbn:~$ source hi.sh
kk4qbn@kk4qbn:~$ 

See.. somethink is BORKED!

Yes, I found THAT type oin hi.sh before running the above I accidently had a
hyphen instead of =. but fixed that. and there are no typos in my scripts.. I
even put SBSCTRL and LD_LIBRARY_PATH in /etc/environment. sbbs still states
!SBBSCTRL ENVIRONMENT NOT FOUND.

SO far I've tried it 2 -3 different ways in ~.profile ~.bash-profile ~.bashrc
/etc/profile /etc/environment. still no go.. BUT as long as I run SCFG from a
script I don't get the window at the beginning stating it could'nt fin
/sbbs/ctrl. I start sbbs from a script and it still gives the SBBSCTRL error,
but I don't seem to be having any trouble.

well 'env' states that SBBSCTRL is indeed set still issues, and
/etc/environment is not doing what I thought it would. its scrweing with the
programs. try to run scfg and you get !ERROR 2 changing curent directory to
/sbbs/ctrl.. guess I'll trash that and reboot and keep trying.

I will do that again.. but if I was'nt hving issues with SCFG and gtkmonitor
and jsexec I would think it was just that.
