Hello,

I am having a slight problem making a script executeable chmod 777 
script_file.  I thought maybe I was doing something wrong but I tried in 
on my service provider's system (linux) and it worked fine...

basically
vi dome
echo Hello world!!!
<:wq>
chmod 777 dome
dome
Hello world!!!

On my system I get an unknown command.  I figure I have something messed 
up, but I am not sure what.  Any clues would be appreciated.

Duane...
