macOS Terminal / .sh app

[Doman]

Hey, I recently got a command line program because I'm too much of a broke college student to pay for anything with a GUI and I want to automate this a bit. Here's what I've done.

Save As -> Script.sh
chmod +x Script.sh
(Doesn't double click to run ~ opens in TextEdit)

I open terminal and type sh Script.sh
It runs.
How do I get it to just run?

When the script calls for sudo, I imagine I just get a prompt. Then after that I need it to enter in information once it opens the application.
The automated equivalence of:
Program> set status=on
Program> set loader=active
Program> set buffer=10
Program> quit

Echo doesn't work, so I'm lost. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Doman

edit: now a .command file.
other issues remain.

Add #!/bin/sh as the first line of your script. That way, it becomes a "standalone executable". As to the function of your script, I don't quite grasp what you're trying to accomplish. If you're trying to automate some other existing application, maybe you need to look into AppleScript.

Echo wont work if u have "E" as a capital all script declarations are in small letters like: "echo", "if", "while" etc.

ditto on the "#!/bin/sh" in the first line. Also, don't forget to "chmod +x". Honestly, I've never done the ".command" thing. I just do "mycommand.sh" with the above two details.
