Figured out what is causing my problem with scripts.
I can copy the body of a file to the command line and
it fuction as expected. When I enter the file name on
the command line I get "command not found".
The permissions of the file are:
-rwxr-xr-x    1 clay     users          51 May 30 05:43 hello

My setup is:
cpu: AMD Athlon XP 1600+
ram: 256 MB
OS: SuSE Linux 8.0
desktop: KDE3
shell: bash 2.05-302
editor: vim 6.0-155
console: Shell-Konsole

I have tried this with a c program with the same results,
"command not found".

Any ideas out there on what is causing this?
