Don Cragun Sir, you deserve a medal! That's it! I had no end of line character!

I used sublime text, like I always do for coding. Maybe the editor has some formatting default with the .txt ending, I don't know.
My solution: I put the same line from the former calls.txt into a file just called "calls" (no ending), created with nano.
Now I have a "$" as line ending character, somehow not intuitive for me, I was expecting "\n" but it works anyway. My <#program calls here> section gets executed. Fantastic!
