If it is an sh-type script, then "sh <script-name>" should work,
regardless of how anything else is configured.  If it is a csh-type
script, "csh <script-name>" should work.

There are a lot of other things you should know along this line; 
a decent tutorial on shell scripting would be a good place to start.
