In this case I am not piping.  I am writing the script to a flat text 
file.  I now don't think it's encoding either, but something strange 
with the file.  The following can happen:

* The file with it's automatically created contents gives an error.
* Copying the script to another file means that it works.
* Copying a perfectly working script to the file gives an error.

It is as if there is something in the file but not the text itself that 
causes the error.  The URL is perfectly OK as moving a working script to 
the URL and running works fine.

I'm running my scripts by the shell command: gnuplot [filename].  This 
works OK on a working script but on this automatically generated script 
file does not.

Thanks for any help
