[Wien] Band Structure Plot for Spin Orbital Coupling

Hello,
  I am trying to calculate the band structure for Bi with spin orbital
coupling. I was searching for the mailing list and am now following the
steps proposed there before:
1)run_lapw -so
2)x lapw1 [-c] -so [-band], etc.
  I was able to perform the first step and the calculation converged quite
quickly, with no error messages. But when I tried to type in the second
command on the command line, I received this error message:
"chmod: invalid character 'o' in mode string '-so'"
The same error appears when I type "spaghetti -so".
Without the '-so' I then get a bunch of errors saying:
"chmod: cannot access 'lapw1': No such file or directory
 chmod: cannot access '[-c]': No such file or directory
 chmod: cannot access '[-band]': No such file or directory",
which does not make sense to me since SCF ran quite smoothly.
  Has anyone ran into this problem before? Any explanation would be much
helpful.

Thanks.
