Is this what you're looking for? #!/bin/sh # LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH=/commercial/wordperfect8.0/wpbin:$PATH export PATH xwp $* FWIW, I'd be VERY interested in getting WP8 to work in Woody. Does anyone have the steps necessary to do so? I haven't had real good luck so far (although I haven't looked at it in a few weeks).
