On our Solaris systems, one would give the commands

$ batch
stata -b do fe
ctrl-D

and the result would be placed in fe.log. This is true batch -- not 
background, which is a child process of your terminal session.

Unix and Linux machines do not have 'h' drives, in my experience; smells 
like
Windows. Is this a dual-boot system?
