I used # ./ script.name when I should have used # ./script.name Apparently, this is what causes the "permission denied". And I now remembered I started doing it this (wrong) way because I could not run the 'sylpheed' script. As a newbie I had doubts... maybe there should be a space?... But the 'sylpheed' script still would not run: "command not found". There is only one command in the file (which works fine on the command line) and a comment: #!/bin/bash I copied the script from the web. But apparently the comment is not a comment. When I remove it the script works (not from firefox, but that's a different problem). I'll go wipe the egg off my face now. - and thanks. -- Jay
