Hmm, good question. All though, the OP did state he was using it to write shell scripts, others might not know.
I honestly don't know.

know what a "terminal" is, let alone how to open one (being a Linux user
myself, I also had some trouble finding a way to open a terminal when I first
sat in front of a Mac machine on one occasion).
So, is there a way to find out the emacs version from within a running emacs
instance itself?
Best, :-)
