Instructions typed on the "command-line" are interpreted by
the "shell" which could be tcsh, sh or even bash, depending
on the user's preference.  A "shell-script" is merely a plain
text file containing a list of commands that can be actioned
sequentially by the shell.

If you've used MSDOS you may be familiar with the concept of
batch files (*.bat) which are similar.
