I don't understand the last few lines of this log.  What I need to do to
correct this problem.  I am no expert on UNIX and just know the basics.  BTW I
am using procmail on DEC Alpha Workstation (runnning OSF1).


Rajesh, 
 
In the home directory of the user executing your .procmailrc, it *must*
exist "resume.txt" for the script to run correctly.

I recommend testing this way

   :0
   * test -f resume.txt
     (.....your stuff here....)

Further, when you do a "cat" or "echo" (or wathever you run for
displaying at
standard output) it's wise to redirect the standard error to the std.
output
this way:

    cat resume.txt 2>&1
