Hi Peter One of the contributions I made just prior to christmas was to handle the shebang and basically put the script into <?lc mode immediately if there's a shebang. I really didn't get much of a chance to experiment with it but it was merged in. Unfortunately I can't remember which version of LC but perhaps try one of the latest server versions???
