just to avoid confusion - this is not the same thing as a script in 
Scribus, which would be a python program.
This is a shell script, usually run from a command line in Linux and 
outside of Scribus, so this is what Frank is describing.
Shell scripts are small plain text files, which can be executed when the 
permissions are set properly, such as by using this chmod command as 
indicated.
