Thomas, like I explained to Mauro it was just confusing. Really I should have known the problem, I was working on it all last night and I guess I needed a break. That said, the tutorial is not clear. In line with the rest of the tutorial they should have used 1, vice 34. It works perfect with 1.
Thanks for the help, and that shell trick was quite helpful.
