  You can change that behavior by removing ".sh" from your LS_COLORS
variable.

  (Personally, I leave it there, because I like the fact that it highlights
many shell scripts in a busy source directory, even if they are not
executable yet.)

  I was not really suggesting that you should apply that paranoia here.  :)
I just feel compelled to mention that anytime someone is downloading
something off the 'net and "just compiling it" on Linux.  That same blind
trust is what gets so many MS-Windows systems into trouble.  If we, as a
user community, are not careful, in a few years, we will have the same virus
problem MS-Windows does.  :-(
