nano is one among other editors used to modify scripts. It has nothing to do with the execution of a script.
The so called "shebang" within the script text is not mandatory but helps the shell decide which program to use to run the script.
I wanted to use nano as the editor, would I just write chmod in the editor and do it like that?
Thanks
