Oh thank you!  It is the little things, isn't it?  I had more capabilities
in the program than the directory could like.  I had run it from the CI with
no errors.  I had even run it from inside the shell but from the same
directory ("/HPACCOUNT/HPGROUP") with no errors.  Your suggestion to use
callci did the trick.  Thanks again.

Jim
