    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.
