I think I must have some other issue because I can't execute the any script.sh even using the full path. I tried within the scripts folder and from MyDocs and each time it says file not found. I have been very careful checking spelling and syntax of the path and see no errors. I've also tried several times.

To make them executable, in xTerm I did:
chmod +x script-name.sh

The script-name.sh was created on my Win XP machine with EditPad Lite (saved with .sh append) and transferred wirelessly using N810 file manager. Sound ok so far?

I used your three line script verbatim (from # to tar) except I changed mmc1 to mmc2 as I have plenty of space internally right now (incredible, I know!!!).

BTW, I tried to create .profile but was denied permission. I presume I can do this after gaining root? (and reboot will release root privaleges?). Is this possibly a hidden file if it exists now? will ls -a reveal it if it exists (if I am in the correct location)?

I tried to create the .profile file with:
type 'some text' > .profile
('some text' is the path statement of course).
I know I could use vi but currently have zero experience so thought the redirection was simple enough.

So, any thoughts? And thanks again. (I'll have to give you my address so you can send me a bill!!)
