it might have been the editor. but i did forget the first line. on my system
the default shell is /bin/ksh.... so for you....

add:

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

to the very first line.

vi the file in unix and verify that no CONTROL-M's show up.

also try changing:

Code:
(( num += 1 ))

to:
Code:
$(( num = num + 1 ))

everything else should be fine.
