running shell scripts

er....

i can't seem to run shell scripts....(embarassed blush)

i've never done this before (a little experience with DOS batch files a few years ago)...
i have a couple of files (quake3 demo and UT file) , the quake one shows up as blah.sh and the UT one as blah.run. My redhat "bible" and other linux book are less than explanatory on executing shell scripts.
I follow instructions and come up with" permission denied" whether i am user or su to root or logged in as root.

i feel like a caveman in a spaceship!

ug!

presumably you still need to set them as executable

chmod +x script.sh

then it should be executable with

./script.sh
