  Here the problem is the minus as a character in the name of the
  output file: the shell is confused about that sign! (so "c19s-.out"
  should be renamed to "c19s.out")

  Well, since you are working on Unix environment, my best
  advice is not to re-read the GAMESS manual, but to buy a 20 pages
  brochure about UNIX (!)...

  Another choice is to read the FAQs available on net...
  (rtfm.mit.edu in the directory pub/usenet/news.answers This FAQ is
  archived as "unix-faq/faq/part[1-7]".)
