Hey, this should be an easy one for someone knowledgable to answer.

Despite the fact that there's a dot-pup of Midnight Commander, I recently downloaded the 1.05alpha release of Puppy and am experimenting with compiling programs.

So, I have installed MC from source, and was wondering what I should put in a script to lauch MC in a terminal without having to first open the terminalk, then type "mc".

Something like (and i'm guessing here, i know that it's not correct)

Code:
{xterminal emulator} mc


Please help this fumbling newbie, can't seem to help myself today....

Any help deeply appreciated Smile

EDIT:
I know that to run a program like XMMS, which isn't dependent on a terminal to run, I could write
Code:
#!/bin/sh
xmms


...but MC seems dependent on the xterm or whatever.... hmmm

Doopdoop, that worked, thanks a bundle. Laughing

I had seen that somewhere before, but couldn't seem to use my powers of recollection or searching prowess to find the answer myself...

Thanks! Very Happy
