oh ok, I see what you are saying now. I will try that out.
I also have another way I am investigating now.
What I seem to have found is I can create one script that runs my second script as sudo (root), I am just trying to get it to be able to *find* that second script (like if I place both in a USB stick, how do i tell the terminal window to look in that same directory to find the second script.
When I ran my first script from the terminal command line as root, the script worked...that's why i created a second script to simply run my first as root.

here is what I have:

First Script: (Test3.command)
Code:
#!/bin/bash

clear ; echo This script will put a system configuration file into your Mac OSX that will assist with UNIX permissions on the IFS

clear ; 
echo Moving Working Directory to the System Directory
cd /etc/

echo Creating a new file with correct permissions, please have system root password ready...

sudo cat <<EOF >> launchd.conf
umask 000
EOF
echo Process has completed, thank you.

Second Script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

sudo .~/Test3.command

How can I tell Mac OSX to look at the same directory that both scripts are in to run it? When I run the second script now, I get this output:

Code:
Last login: Thu Apr 11 14:04:12 on ttys001
XXXX-MacBookPro:~ jlemme2$ /Users/jlemme2/Desktop/ifs/Test6.command ; exit;
Password:
sudo: .~/Test3.command: command not found
logout

[Process completed]

And, as a second part, how would I combine these two scripts into one, if it was possible?
I am also researching myself, so if I figure out my own answer I will post it here. I do appreciate your assistance with this.

locale::codes::script

Locale::Codes::Script(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				  Locale::Codes::Script(3)

NAME

       Locale::Codes::Script - standard codes for script identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Codes::Script;

	  $script  = code2script('phnx');		      # 'Phoenician'
	  $code    = script2code('Phoenician'); 	      # 'Phnx'
	  $code    = script2code('Phoenician',
				 LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC);	      # 115

	  @codes   = all_script_codes();
	  @scripts = all_script_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Codes::Script" module provides access to standards codes used for identifying scripts, such as those defined in ISO 15924.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 15924
       four-letter codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying scripts. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant
       that is automatically exported by this module.

       For example, the two are equivalent:

	  $script = code2script('phnx','alpha');
	  $script = code2script('phnx',LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha, LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA
	   This is a set of four-letter (capitalized) codes from ISO 15924 such as 'Phnx' for Phoenician.  It also includes additions to this set
	   included in the IANA language registry.

	   The Zxxx, Zyyy, and Zzzz codes are not used.

	   This is the default code set.

       num, LOCALE_SCRIPT_NUMERIC
	   This is a set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 15924 such as 115 for Phoenician.

ROUTINES

       code2script ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       script2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       script_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_script_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_script_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::rename_script  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::add_script  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::delete_script  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::add_script_alias	( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Codes::Script::delete_script_alias  ( NAME )
       Locale::Codes::Script::rename_script_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::add_script_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::delete_script_code_alias	( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
