+This shell script automates running g13d from the command line and passing in a given .bind file.
+
+**WARNING:**  It might not be the best way, but I just do a **sudo chmod +w** on a couple usb/input device folders, so that I can run g13d as normal user vs. root.
+
+If you disagree with this approach, delete the two **sudo chmod** lines, or never use this script, or edit this script to show a better way - this way works, though ;-)
