Have you also remembered to set the "e" (execute) bit?  It never occurred to
me that this was required, but I ran across a note to that effect when I was
installing ARP 1.3 last night (BTW, a great update!!  Get it, wherever you
can find it!  Hopefully it will be in comp.binaries.amiga soon!).  I must
have been lucky so far, in that my script files have all had the "e" bit
turned on by default!
