Hi all ,
I was having a really hard time adding the shortcut to Netscape6 to the
Desktop.
 Normally to start it up I would open a console change directory to
/home/mydir/netscape6/package
and then type
'./netscape' (without the qoutes)
and it would start no problem.
.the problem of adding the shortcut by right clicking the desktop and adding
this path is that it wouldn't do the './netscape thingy'. I was stumped.
I asked one of the  local Linux 'gurus'
and he basically just wrote a liitle script with pico or one of the text
editors, probably 'kedit' that looks like this

cd /home/mydir/netscape6/package
./netscape
saved it as 'runnetscape'
and then used that path for the shortcut's executable
i.e
/home/mydir/runnetscape

and it worked!

thought I would share that with everyone
