Opening it with gedit gets something that's part text (generally

Is there a test, usable by one who knows no code, whether it's

What should I do?
you should leave it there -- it's an actual command.
It's actually in /usr/bin. It's legit and a version of the "test"
command. Buried in it (via the "strings" command), you'll find:
Usage: test EXPRESSION
or: test
or: [ EXPRESSION ]
or: [ ]
or: [ OPTION
