port43,
i'll admit i thought you were all wet but not to ignore any suggestion when asking i ran $SH_FILE and $LMSDB_FILE through sed and stripped all the quotes out. so the end result was a quote free $CMD_LINE variable and wouldn't you know it, it worked!

i never gave those quotes a second thought since they're supplied to me via some GUI as setup files for a hand run calculation. i just took from them what i thought i needed and made a CMD_LINE variable to execute. knowing up front they weren't needed i should have just took them out but i never thought they'd be an issue. remind me to never doubt you again! thanx for the help!!
joe.
