I have tried putting #!/bin/sh as the first line of the shell script - but BASH continues to try to execute it - itself. It doesn't seem right that I have to throw away all of my old shell scripts in order to run BASH. This is probably not a BASH bug - but just a problem with my understanding of how this works.
