All i did originally was copied the script to the ~/Desktop directory. It brings up a standard icon that is not editable in this way. I don't need a kde.ink if i follow Aneurin's advice. Note how i have now modified the script above. It works! I thought i should put the whole bit after the -e in "quotes" to ensure the ARGS got passed to civserver but no its fine as it is.. xterm thought that was the filename i wanted started when i passed it all in quotes. Thanks anyway Brian, later i will learn how to create from scratch .ink icons, but for this i don't need one. -- Michael
