 This morning, I changed:

uloadx stockcount.txt

to

uloadx stockcount.txt </1

It almost worked inasmuch as it did start the upload, but it was incredibly 
slow(5 cps) and it then locked up part way through the upload to the coco.

I looked at the Shell+ docs and didn't see anything that appeared to be 
relavent.

I'm about to change the script so that I will have to be in the target 
directory to run it. Maybe this will reveal something.
