Scott, I have created a file called signature and placed it in my home 
directory. In that file I have the exact text as appears on my 
signature. As this is my first trial at shell scripting I made the files 
permissions 764 so that the comands I enetered could be executed.

How come I am seeing the 'echo' and 'uptime' in the script, and how can 
I get this file contents to be executed, remove the # before !/bin/bash?

Help a scripting newbie :) plse.

PS: I am using Messenger from Mozilla  1.7.2.

Tnx
