My question is
this.

I want to be able to run a shell script from the pull-down
menu in CDE but since its a shell script it needs to
have a shell running first. What is the proper
line for the dtwmrc file to start a shell
then execute my script? I read the man and it
really didnt present any options. I've played around with exec an xterm then trying to get it to execute the script. But no good.

Oh, by the way
the script requires user answers, so its an interactive
think. Otherwise i'd just fire it off from the menu.

TIA

Disregard this. Just create an action with CDE and
it will run just fine.
