 Thanks for your help so-far Philip,

 I have changes my script to:

   LOGFILE=/tmp/logger
   VERBOSE=yes

   :0
   | echo "$@" > /tmp/result

 and it still does not work! I get this in the logfile:

  procmail: [25226] Wed May  1 10:11:11 1996
  procmail: Executing " echo "$@" > /tmp/result"
  procmail: [25226] Wed May  1 10:11:11 1996
  procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER= echo "$@" > /tmp/result"
    Folder:  echo "$@" > /tmp/result

 Hmmmmmmm.. Can anybody give me a sample script which demonstrates this
 working?
