How do you pass authentication on the command line?

That worked really well, Alex... I was able to do this via Terminal and
everything works fine now. Now I noticed that this was using bash and
not tcsh; Panther automatically used bash in Terminal, but Jaguar was
using tcsh and I had to run bash separately before I could apply your
changes above. So two questions: 

  1) If I were to want to run the script above from Rev, how would I
concatenate multiple commands in a single shell()?
  2) If the OS is currently running tcsh, how would I add invoking bash
before the script lines above using shell()?

Thanks in advance,
