I'm very new and I'm making a very basic script to manipulate some images with dmconvert. How do I make this an executable file (command) rather than a text file, so I can click it from the desktop and run it?

Thanks!

Select the file, press right button and select Change Permissions... and check the execute box. Or use command chmod (see 'man chmod' for details). The Internet is full of shell script examples.
