Ok, that's all transparent.  What puzzles me is why the now executable 
file won't run Roman's example.  Just tried it, and indeed it doesn't 
work.  Lots of test lines work but not the 'mkdir' and not the 'cd'.  
'cd' being a builtin I'm wondering why it doesn't work in an executed file:

    #!/usr/bin/zsh
    echo "This echos just fine"
    cd -- "/tmp"

... no 'cd'.  So far I've not come across any reason to do anything 
other than source my scripts but if I ever do I'd like to understand this.
