IIRC, for the properties in any panel or menu shortcut, you have a checkbox for
'run in terminal'? Not positive about this, I hate KDE.

[newbie] adding menu entry for .pl file?

2004-01-17 Thread Rick Kunath
I have an app that needs to be started from a terminal with a command like 
./somefile.pl

How do I enter this into the command line so I can create a menu item to start 
the file from the menu in KDE?

entering the path /home/user/./somefile.pl fails as does adding open in 
terminal with various entries I tried.

TIA.
Rick
