If you have a shell script "foobar" and rename it to "foobar.command"  
then double-clicking on it will launch Terminal and it will run the  
shell script.
Or you install the OSProcess plugin (unix osx) and use the carbon or  
unix VM to invoke the shell script via a handy squeak application.

For the bindings issues select the image, do get info and down at the  
Open with:  tab select which app to  use, and if you want all  
documents of this type to open with that application, etc.   That  
should fix the launch database.
