Subject: Re: noob: How to make my script executable on unix?

Hah--right you are--thanks!  I'm actually on solaris, but writing my
script on windows (ultraedit) and saving to a samba share.  Ultraedit
has a 'DOS -> Unix' conversion, but it doesn't seem to affect the
executability of my script. :-(  But if I write the same lines to a new
file in pico, then it works.

Thanks!
