Make that ``to use Bash''.  The OP said Bourne Shell wasn't
working for him but bash and Korn were.

On many Unix-like systems, changing a user's login shell is
performed using the usermod command, like this:

    usermod -s /bin/bash username

which would change user ``username'' so that his login shell is
/bin/bash.

To clarify, most shell scripts start out with a line that looks
like one of these:

    #!/bin/sh
    #!/bin/bash
    #!/bin/csh
    #!/bin/ksh
    #!/bin/zsh

Whatever comes after the ``shebang'' (the hash mark and
exclamation point) indicates what command should be used to
interpret the script.  If your script uses features that are
specific to bash, then it really should begin with
``#!/bin/bash''.
