dumb question

[David Christopher]

I finally have it working now.  I have the Documents directory in the path
that bash searches for executable files in my .profile now.  The problem
was being caused by the -s in the .scm file in the line that tells bash
where to get the file to execute the .scm file.   I noticed that it looked
like --s only a sloid line.  I deleted that and added -s.

Now once I make a .scm file executable, I can type in the name of the file
on the bash command line and bash passes the path of that file to the guile
program which executes it.
