Why isn't the shell script's extension used *when* it exists? sh-set- 
shell is not dynamic, it does not allow to write scripts for more  
than one type of shell ... It would be nicer it would read the first  
line, after being typed, and correct the "[name_of_shell]" part  
accordingly. And the contents of the context menu!

The context menu is based on the type of shell interpreter. If I  
write a Bourne shell script I can't enter csh code.
