	Here's a good one on me .  If I use the -s option & do_script is
	set to 0 the script specified in the -s option is not processed .
	If set to 1 it does get processed .  And the using the log_file
	(ie: log_file -a -noappend junk.txt) I am able to get the output
	from my sub script .  But otherwise nothing gets sent to stdout .
	The note above the do_script seems to say that the underlying
	script is responsible for sending output ,  But instead of having
	anything to do with output it is input that gets shanghi'd .
	Now that I can at last can get output ot appear someplace do
	you have any thoughts on getting output to stdout ?

	That is where I stole the basis for the script .
