Hello:

	I have small question, I have a bash shell and if I type echo
$RANDOM then I get the proper integer. Now if I write a small test script
(test.sh) like:

	#!/bin/bash

	number=$RANDOM

	echo $number

then on shell if I say

        >sh test.sh

Then I do'nt see any output?? I feel it strange!!
