It works now.  The docs were unclear to me.  For example, this works:

echo newuser george >>/srv/cwfs.cmd

And this does not work (unsupprisingly):

echo george george >>/srv/cwfs.cmd

Unless you really look at it, it is unclear when to make a substitution (or
fill in a variable), and when to type it literally.  Perhaps the docs
should say:

echo newuser <username>  >>/srv/cwfs.cmd

where <username> is the name of the new user (without the <>).

Thanks.

Blake
