[Xastir] script files

[Tate KA7O]

Pathing.

Linux does NOT do like Windows and search the current directory for
commands.

You can run "echo $PATH" to see what your environment's path is set to.

If you run 'pwd'  you see where you are, currently. Possibly /home/<user>

I assume your scripts are located in "/usr/local/share/xastir/scripts/"

Problem is, that script location is not in your systems 'Path' variable.
So, you can either add it to your path, or be explicit when giving your
commands.

Two ways to do this:

1) Give the full path with the command: "/usr/local/share/xastir/scripts/
get-fcc-rac.pl"

or

2) if you're currently in a directory that contains the command/script
(test with ls),
then use: "./get-fcc-rac.pl" (note the dot, slash at the beginning)

"./" tells the interpreter to find the following command in the current
directory.
