I still consider myself as a novice so many of the questions are beyond me. This is your problem: MS and Linux handle end of line differently, though I don't remember which is which. If you use Samba, the file will not get converted properly. There are two ways I know of to fix the problem 1. use FTP in ASCII mode to transfer the file 2. fix Samba transfered file on Linux side using pico. pico -w yourscript.cgi ctrl +o to save it ctrl +x to exit Hope this helps Damon Register
