well-formed mkdir in shell script 1

[DaveC426913]

Running FreeBSD.

I have this in a simple shell script:

mkdir -m 775 /usr/local/

http://www/sites/<...morepath...>/foob-03

It creates a folder called /foob-03?/

Why the '?'?

foob-03 show up with ls -la, but it does not show up in Webmin.

Clearly, my syntax is incomplete and it doesn't quite know what to do. Could it simply be a lousy carriage return? I tried the command directly in the shell and it worked OK.

It looks like a possible control-char has been included in the script. Can you edit it to take it out and reinsert making sure you don't hit any ctrls on the way?

Sigh. I shoulda knowed that.

I really have to stop editing in Notepad.

Thanks.
