Figured it out. While "-f", "-t", and "-s" are all options that should be started with a "-", "i" is a command, and should not be. Here is one of my scripts to import a text file:#!/bin/bashexport SBBSCTRL=/sbbs/ctrl/sbbs/exec/smbutil i/sbbs/text/phar_ad.asc /sbbs/data/subs/dove-ads.shd < /sbbs/mods/hdr/phar_ad.hdrTake out the hyphen before "i" as well as the space, and you should be good to go.

The "phar_ad.hdr" only contains three lines:TOFROMSUBJECTSo you don't need to add that to the command line if you do something like what I do above. That's completely optional, though.Regards,Nick...
