I created new files with the
f(x):= 2*x;
and there were no problems with batch, even with comments.
So, I do think there was some problem with the file.
I have noticed this before, but on complicated *.sav files which would
load but not batch. I'll try to isolate the problem on one of these,
but now, it seems that the fix is to recreate the file and carefully
type what is in there.
I'll try to see when this happens again and do an
od -c on the file
Thanks for the help.
