This rings a bell...

My next guess is that your path to blt is 31 or 32 characters long.
I.e. that you have something like

#/usr/local/blt-1.8/bin/blt_wish -f
12345678901234567890123456789012

As the first line in your blt scripts. The kernel only reads the first
32 when it sees the #! and so blt_wish gets fired up but does not get
given the script (via -f). Thus the blt_wish is interactive and gives
you the % prompt.  If this is true, you can just use a symbolic link
to get yourself a shorter path to blt_wish. I've been bitten by
this...

If this doesn't work, I'll make up a guess #3 :-)

Terry.
