[gradsusr] get a syntax error using query w2xy

[Stephen McMillan]

Kyle,

I ran your sample script as-is the first time, and got presumably the same
syntax error you noticed.  However, I noticed there were extra (blank?)
characters after some of the lines in your script.  After I removed them,
it worked fine.  You might try that.

Good luck
Stephen Mc
