I admit to feeling _really_ dumb asking this. After working through ppp,
XWindows config, a kernel re-compile and some other stuff with no or minimal
help, I can't figure out why I can't make a script executable.

I use vi to create a script in a given directory, save it, chmod 755 to set
permissions, I haven't changed directories, I ls -l to double-check and then
type in the name of the script. I get "command not found". I've tried sh, csh
and bash. I've tried different users and root. I've tried man sh, man csh, etc.
I keep getting the feeling there's something just beyond my fingertips. The last
time I did this was in a class about a year ago using zsh on AIX. Write the
script, set the permissions and go. Please tell me what I've missed. Thanks.
