  Well, yes.  But if '.' isn't in your $PATH, then the shell won't find it if
you just try to invoke it by typing "filename" and pressing return.

  And of course if you don't use a shebang, it'll be invoked under sh rather
than under whatever shell you might have launched it from, which will be
confusing if you were trying to use shell builtins or whatever.....



    cheers,
