How does that fish saying go?
Give a man a shell script, feed him for a day,
Teach a man shell scripting, feed him for life?

That isn't fair, though, because Curt is asking for the proper reference, 
not the answer.

Curt, if you do a ps from the command line you can see what shell you are 
using. However, as Wesley points out, the "who-what-how launches your 
script" is the key.
