Actually, that should be "-- ".
The .sig delimiter is two dashes, a space and a newline.

Dave...
then I need to insert a carriage return below the "-- "
what would that be?
Well in Unix systems the newline character is a line feed not a carriage
return. But echo (without a -n switch) will add it to the output. So
just use 'echo "-- "' after stripping the single quotes.

I'm learning the difference now after reading up on it, but I can't find
how to just insert a blank new line..i.e. look at my sig below, it's all
on one line:
-- =Guy 19:24:11 up 21:48, 2 users, load average: 0.74, 0.68, 0.56
but I would like it to look like
--
=Guy
19:24:11 up 21:48, 2 users, load average: 0.74, 0.68, 0.56
I have tried \r and \n but perhaps I am missing some kind of qualifier
like $ before it or something. I apologize for my lack of scripting in
unix knowledge but promise to keep researching and become better.
Thanks.
Try:
echo "-- " >.signature
echo "=Guy" >>.signature
echo `uptime` >>.signature
