[Tinyos-help] environmental variables in shell script

[Anton]

I realized what was the problem: because I created the script file in 
Windows. After I had written that script in cygwin (using commands "cat" 
and "vi") everything was all right. As far as I understand all this 
troubles were due to CR characters present in the Windows text file. 
Thanks to Eric Keller, Milos Rovcanin, Axl Schreiber for their replies.
