Interactively I create a class, define histograms and cuts, fill and do
dsired fits successfully as follows:
....
<fsgi03> root

  *                                         *

Type ? for help. Commands must be C++ statements.
Enclose multiple statements between { }.
root [0] .L Myxc.C
root [1] Myxc t
root [2] t.Loop()
......

Now I would like to perform this task in batch in order to
accommodate more extensive plots and fitting. Here is a
script runMyxc that I've tried:
......
#!/bin/sh
. /usr/local/etc/setups.sh
#
setup root
#
cd /usr/e781/data05/scratch/dauwe/
# do root in batch mode and quit when finished
$ROOTSYS/bin/root -b -q {
      /usr/e781/data05/scratch/dauwe/Myxc.C;
      Myxc t;
      t.Loop();
    }
......

But here is what happens:
.....
<fsgi03> . ./runMyxc

  *                                         *
  *   Version   2.24/04        5 May 2000   *

Thanks for any suggestions you can give.
