Super.  I'm glad that you are off and running.

If everything is setup correctly, then this running multiple,
simultaneous scripts should not be a problem.  If, on the other hand,
things were not setup correctly, then files that should be created on a
per-session basis (in a subdirectory of ~/.mctmp) would get created in
one or more directories (e.g., ~/workdata, ~/mcidas/data,
~/mcidas/help) and then the scripts would be using the same file(s)
(though their MCPATH settings) and step on each other.  I tried to
setup mcrun.sh and mcbatch.sh to include all needed environment
variable settings.  I can tell you, however, that my first releases of
these scripts were not complete, so if you are using old copies as a
basis for your scripts, you need to update them with the info in the
later/latest versions.

Cheers,

Tom
