Be sure that you've set the correct permissions on the script, e.g. "chmod
755 script.sh" assuming that the script itself is called script.sh. If that
doesn't work, what's the exact message you get? Or does it just return
directly to the prompt?

Actually, the mouse is selected and configured correctly. I've double
checked and even tried different settings. Also, XF86Config isn't a problem
to mess with because I've done it before with success. My main issue is
editing conviences in terminal mode. For instance, to log onto the ISP I
have a two and a half line command to type. Since copy/cut/paste doesn't
work I can't do a command line copy of the command and a file paste to make
a script easily.
Then there seems to be more to writing a script than I've gleened from the
manpages and docs. Most of them effectively say, "Just use any old text
editor you're comfortable with and make a file that contains the command you
want and save it. Then all you have to do is execute that file." I've done
exactly that several times and the file won't execute. Either there's more
to it than that or my box isn't setup correctly. In DOS writing BATCH files
was easy and worked everytime. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a
HOWTO or manpage concerning writing scripts, specifically.

Maybe you've selected the wrong mouse type. For the command-line, rerun
Setup -> Mouse Configuration, and for X Windows, you'll probably need to
rerun Xconfigurator unless you want to much around with your XF86Config
file. Based on your level of inexperience, I'd recommend against that
last. :)
