Well, all I added was the actual file it was looking for... either way, it
still doesn't work

I've added the above statement to the ../pi/.profile and created a file
../pi/.bash_profile and still no luck.  I also have those statements in the
root /etc/profile.

I changed that...

the script I created is named "inmail.sh".  With that being said I would have
thought the ../pi/.profile would have worked but I added both none the less. 
My concern is when I run ./sbbsecho at a command prompt
"pi@raspberry:~/sbbs/exec" it works fine... yet, when I try and start the bbs
with "./sbbs", it won't start unless I put the path and sbbs.ini filename also.
Some see the ctrl directory, some don't. :(



This almost has me bald... lol!!
