OK, fine. I did all that but the file still doesn't run. I get an error
message. It says "fingerinfo[7]: syntax error at line 52 : 'newline or ;'
unexpected." And my permissions appear to be correctly set, they read
-rwx------. 

Could it be that you must have a specific type of shell to run this? I used
the korn shell (ksh), is that the problem? If so, is there a solution?
