"set -x" is useful for debugging shell scripts.  It tells the shell to
print out everything it does, so you probably *don't* want to include
it normally.  "set +x" turns debugging off again.  So, when part of a
script misbehaves you can bracket it with "set -x" & "set +x" to see
what's actually happening.
