David:

I must say...you are a FRIGGIN' GENIUS!!!!!  :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your help!!!!!  you really made my day!!!

It worked...I don't know why I was overlooking that.  Regarding the 
differences w/ bash and sh... you are quite correct.  I still can't figure 
out why the rpm was complaining that I needed /bin/sh to install it... then 
I looked in my bin dir and saw that my bin was symbollically linked to bash. 
  I think the rpm was written in a very picky way...if I could somehow edit 
the rpm like I could a source file, I could fix it.  But I can't.  :)

Thanks again!!!  Let me know if there is ever anything I can assist you 
with.

Tom May
