If, on the KDE desktop, you right click, you get a menu. Suppose from this menu you select 'Execute command'. You get a command line. Is there a clever way to call functions from this command line? How about execute aliases? (For what it's worth most of the functions, as well as the aliases, are in my ~/.bashrc.) -bob- ---------------------------------- E-Mail: bob gordon <bob100@ibm.net> Date: 30-Dec-98 Time: 16:11:28 This message was sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
