I don't know what is causing this error. I just cut and pasted your script into vi and it saved without trouble. What command are you using to save the script? Have you tried to remove some offending trailing charcters (invisible) from the end of your file? For example, go to the end of your pf line, and type d$ Then, if there are any lines below the pf line, go the the first line below the pf lind and type 1000dd Don't be afraid of messing things up. You can reverse any edits with u Joel
