problems with script

[Christopher Spears]

Hmmm...The good new is that I am no longer getting
error messages.  The bad news is that nothing seems to
be ending up in the file.  I created a file called
disk_storage in vi.  Then I did the following:

(date; du ~) >> ~/disk_storage

This put some text into the file.  Then I ran:

(date; du ~) | ./ppd.txt ~/disk_storage

And nothing was prepended to the file!  I did get the
following:

set tf = /tmp/ppd.1568
set dest = /home/Christopher Spears/disk_storage
cat - /home/Christopher Spears/disk_storage
