   At this point, I am confused.   
      
   Are you able to connect to the 'Net?   
      
   Where does SeaMonkeySuite fit in?  Is that where your script   
   (named Inbox  ???) is located?   
      
   Is "Inbox" really the command you run for your script?  If so, do   
   you launch it with the full path name?   
      
   If launched by just Inbox, perhaps try running (in a terminal window)   
   which Inbox   
   and see what the path name for Inbox actually is.   
      
   Cheers!
