The problem is that "source" tells your current shell to interpret the 
file (with some additional details which may not be important now).

Just give execution permissions:

     chmod u+x filename

and execute it:

     ./filename

Unless "source" was used on purpose because of those additional 
details. In such case you'd need to port the script to bash.
