Thanks that did the trick!
Considered resolved!!!!

I have a helper script that will grab weblogs for a particular domain, if called by itself from the MS-DOS command line it works as intended, but I'd like to call another script to call this script...

need more info.... is this a windows system, unix, web app?

well here is a sample of a loop in bash shell:


#!/bin/bash
COUNT=6
# bash while loop
while [ $COUNT -gt 0 ]; do
echo Value of count is: $COUNT
let COUNT=COUNT-1
done
