Nope.  Not it.

BINGO!  ....we have a winner.  ;)

I thought for sure that was not correct.  No white space before the
sheba....  Wait a minute!  Howzabout a blank line above the shebang?  D0H!!

These are the minute details that bedevil the poor noob.  I've read dozens
of tutorials on different prog langs and have never read a single thing on
white space or blank lines preceding a shebang.  Till now.  I always get
frustrated and give up on learning programming, not really caring much for
coding, anyway.  But, dammit, I'm gonna stick with it this time.  I'll learn
python if it kills me!  ....that is, if you folks can stand all my dumb
questinons.  ;)

Thank you, Ivan, and other repondents.
