running a script?
Newbie here. I'm tying to install MajorCool to help with my Majordomo lists, but I don't know how to follow this instruction:

"Run the Configure script ('sh Configure'). This script will prompt for some installation values and save the output to a default.sh file."

when typing 'sh Configure' (no quotes) in telnet I receive the following error:

> sh Configure
: not found
: not found
Configure: 9: Syntax error: word unexpected

The OS is FreeBSD 4.1.1. Any ideas?

Are there any notes specific to building
on BSD in a README or INSTALL file?
You may also want to find out what shell exactly
"sh" runs (Bourn, BASH, Korn) as it may be
linked. The error complains about the syntax
on line 9 of "Configure".

Can you do a head -10 on the file, and paste it here? I'm interested to see if the script was written for a particular shell, or uses some odd conventions (i.e.- `:` instead of `#!/blap/blap`) that may "confuse" your shell.
