 Error attempting to run 'between' script

not on linux (or even modern winwhatever)... it is entirely possible that the
user that IREX is running as doesn't even have access to the directory... but
that means that IREX wouldn't run, either... so we look closer and it is
possible that the user doesn't have access to the between script because it
was written by another user and the permissions only allow that originator to
even see it... then, on linux, there's also an executable bit in the
permissions... one user may be able to see and edit a script but not execute
it... *nix doesn't use extensions or file majik to determine if a file is
executable... they use the bit and it is set for each of owner, group, and/or
everyone...
