  It might help to chmod it +x if it doesn't "just work" (although that should
only be necessary under fairly rare circumstances).

  Also if you use a windows-based editor like notepad or wordpad (write),
you'll need to run "d2u" on the file to convert the line-endings from
DOS-style CR/LF to unix-style LF-only before it'll work correctly.
