In KStars we have a number of DCOP functions that let you pre-script complex 
behaviors of the program and play them back.  I am working on a GUI window to 
let users easily build  DCOP shell scripts using a point-and-click interface 
(so they never have to edit the script directly).

I guess I don't need to set the x bit for playback from within KStars, but if 
the user wants to run their script from the command line, it would be simpler 
for them if it was executable.  (all right, not a big difference between 
'./myscript.sh' and 'source myscript.sh', but still... :)

Thanks for the information!
Jason
