Thanks much Matt, that worked, so I now have a launch icon (plus I learned a smidgen about button use). I happened to have a terminal open when I launched it, and it opened a another terminal, leaving the first one usable. When I don't already have a terminal open and launch Leo from the shortcut, I cannot open a second terminal. So I either need to launch Leo in terminal to run in background, or open a terminal before launching Leo from the shortcut.
Oh! I just found out I *can *open another terminal (when Leo is running in the first one) by right-clicking the terminal shortcut, where it gives the option to open another window! Ok, problem solved three different ways.
