Hi -

It's late.  How about I also provide an example of the kind of command 
which I'm trying to execute:

/path/to/command write /path/to/destination/file 3301 100 $SLSQLUID 
STRING1 $SQLUSER $SQLPASS 0 3306 127.0.0.1 theDatabase

I've tried most every variation of a one-liner which I can think of. 
Calling the variables ${VARIABLE}, doing `echo ${VARIABLE}`, and so on. 
  I can't get them to print their values.  I can only get them to print 
their literal values.

Thanks!
