My five files point to:
1. Home/Richard/Desktop/stripergnucash/striping-invoice.scm
2.Home/Richard/Desktop/striping-invoice.scm
3.Home/Richard/Documents/StripingInsurance/stripergnucash/striping-invoice.scm 
I know this is wrong!!
4.Home/Richard/Music/stripergnucash/striping-invoice.scm This must also 
be wrong!
5.Home/Richard/striping-invoice.scm

They all pull up the same file.
Thanks Dick
