excutable from menu line

[Dennis Malen]

These are the results after adding the @ and the set -x.

 + cat trakfhd.wp

Press Enter to continue:

Each of the files has the following attributes:
                                        
-rwxrwxrwx    1 filepro  staff            96 Jun 06 21:37 trakfhd.wp

What am I missing here?

I am still able to execute properly from the command prompt under user
"dennis".

DDW.

Add an "@" at the start of the filePro menu command line.  This will cause
filePro to display "press Enter to continue" after executing the command,
which will allow you to see the error message(s) you are likely getting.

(And, to help in debugging, you can add "set -x" as the first executable
line of the script, which should cause the shell to echo each command before
it executes.)
