Shell question

[Pete]

The command is in a variable, eg put shell(myCommand) into myResult.  I'm
thinking it's something other than that though since even if I type the
command directly into Terminal with the stdin redirection, no output is
produced.

sqlite3 has a .echo command which prints all the commands to stdin.  If I
put that into the stdin file, what gets displayed is portions of each
command with no line breaks between them.  It sure feels like some sort of
carriage return problem!
