Are we supposed to top post or bottom post or do the administrators mind
either way?

Hi Roy, I do not know how to get to the Edit Applications you mentioned
because if you mean by the start button the K icon (I'm using KDE
12.04), I can't find any application akin to edit applications. Still
checking though. Plus, how would I really know whether an
application was designed to open with the command line only - how would
a person be able to tell?
