Our programmer, Andrew, tells me the problem is with the lines... if [ $hessian_colour="twotone" ]; then
The "=" set's $hession_colour to twotone and returns a TRUE to say the operation has been successful. You need to use a "==" to compare the two values. For String comparisons, you should really use the word "eq".
